The importance of human reliability assessment in production systems is considered in this paper. The approaches for human reliability quantification are also given in this paper. The factors influencing the reliability of the operator's activity are particularly analyzed and their quantification is carried out. The method of paired comparison is applied in order to bring together the influence...

The problem of medical error in healthcare is well documented. It is estimated that tens of thousands of people die annually from preventable medical error. For over ten years, a traditional Human Reliability Analysis (HRA) technique, the Root Cause Analysis (RCA) has been used in hospitals nationwide in an attempt to explain why these errors occur and what can be done to prevent them. Still, p...

Human reliability assessment (HRA) is the common name for an assortment of methods and models that are used to predict the occurrence of ‘human errors’. While the origin of HRA is in Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA), HRA is increasingly being used on its own both as a way to assess the risks from ‘human error’ and as a way to reduce system vulnerability. According to [1] the three principa...

Human error plays a crucial role in the majority of critical railway events. In the past the focus was set mainly on technical developments in order to improve safety. Operators were more and more replaced by technical systems to enhance safety. The corresponding shift from active physical work towards supervision tasks changed the requirements on humans and their working environment needed to ...

In this article, we extend strategic human resource management (SHRM) thinking to theory and research on high reliability organizations (HROs) using a behavioral approach. After considering the viability of reliability as an organizational performance indicator, we identify a set of eight reliability-oriented employee behaviors (ROEBs) likely to foster organizational reliability and suggest tha...

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to examine the intrarater and interrater reliability of the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT), thereby increasing understanding of its efficient utilization. [Subjects and Methods] There were 67 subjects (49 female; 18 male). For the SEBT, eight lines were made using tape at 45-degree angles from the center of a circle. The experiment was conducted in the fo...

In today's competitive market, all manufacturers attempt to improve their maintenance policy in order to decrease the cost of failure and increase the quality of products, but most of these attempts do not consider the role of humans involved in a manufacturing system. Human resources are the main factor in manufacturing that has an undeniable effect on products quality, machines reliability, s...

today, the human resources are the assets of any organization and their unique role in the development of the organization, whether indoor or outdoor environment and competition is evident. on the other hand, if an organization fails to satisfy its human resources, in this case it would be doomed to stay away from progress and development. in this context, organizations using hrm tools can keep...
