Functional Human Reliability Analysis: A Systems Engineering Perspective
نویسندگان
چکیده
The human unreliability is the main cause of industrial accidents. In the petrochemical field, about 90% of accidents are due to human errors. Over the years, several models of Human Reliability Analysis have been developed. The major limitation of these models is due to their static nature. Thus, the present research aims to propose a new innovative approach to evaluate the variability of the human error probability between related activities in complex systems using a resilience engineering approach.. Research integrates an HRA evaluation model with a resilience engineering model called Functional Resonance Analysis Model to assess the human error variability. The methodology is applied in a real case study for the emergency management in a petrochemical company.

Error assessment in man-machine systems using the CREAM method and human-in-the-loop fault tree analysis
Background and Objectives: Despite contribution to catastrophic accidents, human errors have been generally ignored in the design of human-machine (HM) systems and the determination of the level of automation (LOA). This paper aims to develop a method to estimate the level of automation in the early stage of the design phase considering both human and machine performance. Methods: A quantita...
