Second Victim
Applying Systemic-Structural Activity Theory to Design of Human-Computer Interaction Systems
Error, Guilt, Trauma, and Resilience Sidney Dekker Griffith University, Nathan Campus, Australia
We tend to blame and forget those professionals who cause incidents and accidents, but they are victims too. They are second victims whose experiences of an incident or adverse event can be as traumatic as that of the first victims. This book goes through what we know about trauma, guilt, forgiveness and injustice and how these might be felt by the second victim. It discusses how to conduct investigations of incidents that do not alienate second victims or make them feel even worse. It enters into a conversation on support and resilience and where the responsibilities for creating it may lie.

Self-Regulation in Activity Theory Applied Work Design for Human-Computer and Human-Machine Systems Gregory Z. Bedny, Waldemar Karwowski, and Inna Bedny
This book goes through the whole cycle of HCI design and implementation and explains the core and basic HCI concepts behind each step. The book uses an interface for an actual Android app, designed and evaluated from the ground up, as a concrete example. Understandable to those with minimal programming knowledge, the book provides readers with a basic working knowledge of HCI oriented software development.
This book provides insight into the application of Applied and Systemic-Structural Activity Theory (SSAT) to the study of human work. There are a number of independent experimental methods and techniques for the study of Human-Computer Interaction and work analysis in general. However there is no integral and unified theory behind the application of these methods and techniques. Until now. This book presents a unified theory and analytical procedure for the study of human work and ergonomic design where predictive models of work behavior are the main tool for design process and work analysis.

Neville A. Stanton
The goal for ergonomics has always been to adapt work, work environments, and machines to man. But is this goal still sufficient? Does it satisfy the needs of the individual, or of societies and organizations as they operate now? This book answers these questions. The goals of ergonomics should be the development of individuals, work situations, and construct knowhow competences. This book proposes a new view on ergonomics where the goal of ergonomics is to eliminate the factors and conditions that impede performance and development.

Process Analysis
Training Operators and Sustaining Standardized Work
Alain Patchong Process analysis is the first tool needed to capture the initial situation before any improvement. Process analysis helps collect the “facts and data” that gives the overall production capacity of the process, shows all opportunities for improvement their amount and source. It is therefore possible to establish the target picture of the process condition and prioritize the needed actions to get there. This book uses numerous examples, charts and drawings to explain the deployment of process analysis and to convey the knowledge effectively.

Alain Patchong The process of deploying Standardized Work is a pure waste if it does not include operator training and auditing that allows to “check” that operators are actually doing the work as defined in the Standardized Work forms. Unfortunately Standardized Work without effective training and auditing is very common. In order to be successful, training and auditing should be conducted in a certain way with certain tools. This book illustrates the right tools and the right process to train and sustain Standardized Work. Examples, charts, and drawings convey the knowledge effectively.

Process Techniques for Engineering High-Performance Materials
Douglas B. Relyea
Tim Oberle
Quality Principle Associates, Norwich, Connecticut, USA
Sealed Air Corporation, Saddle Brook, New Jersey, USA
This book presents a number of case studies that examine widely held beliefs in the manufacturing industry that have been proven to be groundless. Addressing these beliefs and attitudes that can actually be detrimental to competitiveness, it uses real-world examples to outline simple solutions in each case. Dispelling the myth in question, each chapter supplies specific examples that readers can easily relate to. Among the myths dispelled are that increasing line speed always reduces quality and increases scrap; and that reducing the cost of raw materials will reduce the cost of manufacturing.
With processed materials, subtle variations in the production process can affect the performance of individual batches, for better or for worse. This book explores R&D strategies for developing products when the properties are highly dependent on processing variables. It also offers practical advice on how to foster creativity, avoid the inevitable scale-up problems, get the most out of expensive trial work in a plant environment, and find systems solutions to customer problems. Hundreds of real-world examples illustrate successes and failures in materials development.

Expanded and thoroughly revised, this book extends the concepts and considerations of “modern project management” into the realm of project management oversight, control, and support. It recognizes the need for a centralized organizational entity—the project management office (PMO)—to perform in this capacity.

The PMO model defined in this book helps both project managers and the organization to understand and apply professional practices in project management, and to adapt and integrate business practices into the project management environment.

Series: Communications in Cybernetics, Systems Science and Engineering, 1
This book offers a systemic perspective on cognition and the development of mathematics. First the yoyo model is discussed: a recent development of systems research which has yielded revolutionary applications. After revealing the systemic structure of thought, mathematics is analyzed by using the age-old concepts of actual and potential infinities. A new look is cast at some important paradoxes, each of which played a crucial role in the development of mathematics. Attention then turns to constructing the logical foundation of two different systems of mathematics, one assuming that actual infinity is different than potential infinity, and the other that these infinities are the same.

Reflexion and Control Mathematical Models Dmitry A. Novikov and Alexander G. Chkhartishvili Trapeznikov Institute of Control Sciences, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia Series: Communications in Cybernetics, Systems Science and Engineering
Model-driven engineering (MDE) offers a promising approach to realize systems of systems (SoS). However, MDE has largely been unachieved in complex dynamical systems and netcentric SoS, in part because modeling and simulation frameworks are not designed for SoS composability. Addressing this gap, this groundbreaking book presents a platform-independent modeling and simulation methodology for realizing the MDE vision using DEVS Unified Process (DUNIP). Addressing the increasing complexity facing heterogeneous systems, it provides a foundation for netcentric SoS software and systems engineering and executable architectures using DoDAF.
The book considers the basics of mathematical modeling of reflexive processes in control. The models of informational and strategic reflexion allow describing and studying the behavior of reflexing subjects, investigating the relationship between payoffs gained by agents and their reflexion ranks, posing and solving the problems of informational and reflexive control in organizational, economic, social and other systems, and military applications among others (the book contains over 30 examples of possible applications in these fields), describing uniformly many phenomena connected with reflexion, viz., implicit control, informational control via the mass media and reflexion in psychology.

Fast fashion is an industrial trend that refers to the concept of shortening lead time (production, distribution) and offering new products to the market as fast as possible. Despite an abundance of research results, there is no comprehensive reference source that covers the state-of-the-art findings on both theoretical and applied research on fast fashion systems. This edited volume is therefore a very timely project, and will consist of two sections—Theories and Applications— made up of many interesting contributions in the respective domain. The goal is to create a well-balanced handbook that includes both theoretical results (from various perspectives) and case studies.

Series: ASPA Series in Public Administration and Public Policy
This book presents a systematic human factors-based proactive approach to the improvement of health care work and patient safety. The proposed approach delineates a more direct and powerful alternative to the contemporary dominant focus on error investigation and care providers’ accountability. It demonstrates how significant improvements in the quality of care and enhancement of patient safety are contingent on a major shift from efforts and investments driven by a retroactive study of errors, incidents, and adverse events, to an emphasis on proactive human factors-driven intervention and the development of corresponding conceptual approaches and methods for its systematic implementation.
Presenting more than 50 case studies, this book illustrates the application of public administration theories and practices to real-life disasters. The case studies involve worldwide incidents, with topics including natural disasters, industrial accidents, epidemics, and terrorist attacks. The book demonstrates with 20/20 hindsight how preventive planning measures are best practiced. The authors include a lengthy introduction that explains their case selection criteria and how the book can be used as a learning and reference tool for any current or future public manager faced with the complexities of a wide-scale emergency. Figure slides are available upon qualifying course adoption.

Changing the Workplace Safety Culture Ron C. McKinnon
Edited by
Gregory William Smith
McKinnon & Associates, Western Cape, South Africa
STE Group, Western Australia
The only way to ensure that accidents and their consequences are tackled at the source is to identify and eliminate the workplace risks before, rather than after the event. The ongoing identification of workplace and worker risk must become a value to an organization and must occur automatically, as part of the culture of the organization if accidental losses are to be eliminated. This book shows that an organization’s safety culture is the driving force behind successful safety management systems that constantly identify and reduce risk thus eliminating accidents which lead to injuries, property damage or environmental disasters.
This book looks specifically at issues for health and safety management that arise in contracting relationships, bringing together a range of perspectives from different disciplines including legal, health and safety management, operational, contract and procurement management. By sharing lessons from both success and failure to identify critical issues in contractor safety management the book raises awareness of the complexity and importance of contractor safety management and to offer some guidance on how those critical issues might be addressed.

Gregory Rolina
University of Texas at Dallas, USA
Ecole des Mines de Paris, Paris, France
Series: Public Administration and Public Policy
This book is a case study of one university’s policies and practices with regard to the procurement, use, storage and disposal of HAZMAT in the context of a changing internal structure and regulatory environment. The author’s presentation is no-holds-barred, using interviews, archival documentation, and unobtrusive observations as a participant where the research institution was at times noncompliant with the new federal guidelines. This book provides a better understanding of the issues that research organizations face when contending with the new federal legislation on HAZMAT.
This book discusses the specifics of safety regulations regarding nuclear risk and the safety of nuclear installations. The author shows that (French) regulations concerning nuclear safety depend on maintaining a technical dialogue between the ASN, IRSN and nuclear operators. In the face of an ongoing European and global re-evaluation of the safety of nuclear power and alignment towards the Anglo-Saxon standard, the French approach may yet be able to make a significant contribution. This work will be of interest to all involved in nuclear power engineering and in the field of risk management and nuclear safety.

Introduction to Risk and Failures Tools and Methodologies D. H. Stamatis President of Contemporary Consultants, Michigan, USA
Risk is everywhere, in everything we do. Realizing this fact, we all must try to understand this “risk” and if possible to minimize it. This book expands the conversation beyond failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) techniques. While FMEA is indeed a powerful tool to forecast failures for both design and processes, it is missing methods for considering safety issues, catastrophic events, and their consequences. This new book focuses on risk and HAZOP as they relate to major catastrophic events, safety, and risk. Specifically it addresses the process and implementation as well as understanding the fundamentals of using a risk methodology in a given organization for evaluating major safety and or catastrophic problems.
