Description
.This module aims to cover the analysis and assessment phase of the system safety engineering life-cycle for a proposed product or service. It does so by considering the inputs to this phase, the qualitative and quantitative analysis techinques that can be employed within this phase and the outputs from this phase in terms of evidence into the safety case regime. It also considers the changing assessment requirements as more integrated and complex systems are developed.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the module, students should be able to:
Explain the role of system safety assessment in the safety lifecycle
Describe and participate in RBD, FMEA, Markov and cause-consequence techniques
Describe and participate in fault tree construction
Describe and participate in the production and evaluation of fault tree cut sets
Describe and participate in the production and evaluation of fault tree quantitative analysis
Select appropriate analysis techniques for particular situations
Assess the implications of the results of system safety analysis
Explain the role of system safety assessment techniques during detailed design
Explain the role and issues surrounding system safety analysis in safety arguments
Compare manual and automated performance of system safety assessment
Discuss the state of the art and future directions in system safety assessment
Critically evaluate performance of system safety assessment by others
