Quality & Reliability Introduction to Risk and Failures
Lean Systems
Tools and Methodologies D. H. Stamatis
Applications and Case Studies in Manufacturing, Service, and Healthcare
President of Contemporary Consultants, Michigan, USA
Edited by
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. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781482234794 Print ISBN: 978-1-4822-3479-4 eBook ISBN: 978-1-4822-3480-0 May 2014, 6-1/8 x 9-1/4, 274 pp Suggested Price: $99.95 / £63.99

Safety Differently
Reflexion and Control
Human Factors for a New Era, Second Edition
Mathematical Models
Sidney Dekker Griffith University, Nathan Campus, Australia
The previous edition looked critically at the answers human factors would typically provide and compared/contrasted them with current research and insights at that time. Today, the unrelenting pace of technology change and growth of complexity calls for a different kind of safety thinking. This book explains how to turn safety from a bureaucratic accountability back into an ethical responsibility for those who do our dangerous work, and how to embrace the human factor not as a problem to control, but as a solution to harness. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781482241990

Magdalena Fafrowicz, Tadeusz Marek, Waldemar Karwowski, and Dylan Schmorrow
The Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California, USA; and The University of South Australia, Defence and Systems Institute, Adelaide
With contributions from international professionals and researchers, this book is one of the first texts to address the emerging field of neuroadaptive systems and presents the state-of-the-art developments in the field. It discusses neuroscience and human factors, as well as brain activity measurement. Topics covered include operator functional state (OFS) and neuroadaptive systems; psychological constructs versus neuronal mechanisms; object recognition versus object-directed grasping; mental fatigue, sleeplessness, and neural mechanisms of control; and attentional network and error-related negativity associated with sleep deprivation.
This book prepares systems managers and systems engineers to consider their decisions in light of systems integration metrics. The book addresses two questions: Is there a way to express the interplay of human actions and the result of system interactions of a product with its environment, and are there methods that combine to improve the integration of systems? The systems integration theory and integration frameworks proposed in the book tie general systems theory with practice.

Project Identification
Creating Formal Requirements
Capturing Great Ideas to Dramatically Improve Your Organization
Laurence Bellagamba
Charles A. Tryon, Jr.
TASC, California, USA
Tryon and Associates, Broken Arrow, Oklohoma, USA
This book presents a set of formal requirements—explicit, executable instructions—for systems engineering and architecting. Written in Mathematica®, the requirements provide tools to help systems engineers and architects accomplish key tasks better, faster, and cheaper. Chapters open with real-world case studies and illustrate using formal requirements to accomplish four key activities: model system behavior, make decisions, establish natural language requirements, and improve processes. Each chapter ends with heuristics that serve as guiding principles for doing systems engineering and architecting.
Organizations of every type struggle to remain relevant in their marketplace. They continuously strive to introduce new products and services at a rate that satisfies their customers. In their search for fresh ideas, organizations often overlook the most significant source of new thought — their employees. Today’s employees are knowledgeable and able to see opportunities or solutions to problems. This book describes a process for turning “great ideas” into actionable proposals.

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 stateof-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. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781138000292 Print ISBN: 978-1-138-00029-2 eBook ISBN: 978-0-203-76331-5 December 2013, 6-3/4 x 9-3/4, 158 pp Suggested Price: $132.95 / £85.00

General The Making of an Expert Engineer James Trevelyan The University of Western Australia, Crawley
This book focuses on issues often seen as “non-technical” in the world of engineering, yet it reveals how these issues are thoroughly technical. Management schools have avoided the technical dimension of workplace practices and that is precisely what characterizes engineering practice. There has not yet been any authoritative source or guidance to bridge the gap between inanimate technical issues and organizational behavior. This book fills this gap, is based on rigorous research, and is written in a style which is accessible for a wide audience. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781138026926 Print ISBN: 978-1-138-02692-6 eBook ISBN: 978-1-315-74228-1 September 2014, 6-3/4 x 9-3/4, 612 pp Suggested Price: $119.95 / £76.99
