Selection of factors

Risks can be managed in many ways. They can be eliminated, transferred, retained or reduced. Risk reduction activities reduce the risk to an acceptable level, derived after taking into account a selection of factors such as government policy, industry norms, and economic, social and cultural factors.

The selection of factors from the work [16] was done hy the significance of their effects on caoutchouc drying and after processing the opinions of eighteen researchers. The analysis included these eleven factors Xi inlet and outlet moisture ratio X2 pH value in the sixth apparatus X3 pH value in the seventh apparatus X+ NaCl consumption X5 serum consumption in the sixth apparatus X6 serum consumption in the seventh apparatus X serum temperature X8 latex type X9 fat content in caoutchouc X10 latex fat consumption on machine and Xu quantity of latex on the surface. Outcomes of the ranking of the factors are shown in Table 2.16. Determine the concordance coefficient and check its significance.

This is only a selection of factors contributing to the genesis of the accident, which again confirm that latent failures, as defined by Jim Reason (1990), play the dominant role in causing this kind of event. With respect to lessons which might be learned, I want to reflect on some of the issues (or... 

The selection of factors is generally the very first step in an experimental design application. One does not always know, however, which factors have an effect on the response studied. In this case, one selects all the factors that might have an effect and carries out a screening design.
