System risk model

The Hegney-Lawson System Risk Model (see Chapter 6) is applied to the workplace system as opposed to one element within the system. The model supports the theory that for work to function at ai level, and function safely, input or resources involving people, equipment, the environment, the materials rrsed, and the methods used, are fundamental. Work or the interaction of these five ingredients ean result in performance levels that range between stable and unstable, fluctuating over time.

The author undertook a review and analysis of existing risk assessment techniques. The author developed a technique and methodology for the integration of standalone QRA models into an integrated system risk model as well as the specification for software tools in support of this methodology. This work is outlined in Chapter 4, in the sections dedicated to the 1st and 2nd Project. 

Therefore, in this approach, we develop Risk Model III as a reformulation of Risk Model II by employing the mean-absolute deviation (MAD), in place of variance, as the measure of operational risk imposed by the recourse costs to handle the same three factors of uncertainty (prices, demands, and yields). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such application of MAD, a widely-used metric in the area of system identification and process control, for risk management in refinery planning. 

Risk analysis has been proven to retain the flexibility necessary to make it a useful model system for addressing the countless issues that are found to be associated with plant-derived pharmaceuticals (Wolt and Peterson, 2000). Over the past few years, a great deal of information and experience has steadily accumulated with respect to risk analysis of pharmaceuticals that are currently produced in bacterial and aifimal cell bioreactor systems. Risk analysis has also been performed on transgenic crops used for food production as well as for other applications. As a result, elements from each of these disciplines can be incorporated into the design of optimal production and testing policies and practices. Risk analysis has been employed to cover a series of important issues regarding the large-scale manufacture of plant-made biopharmaceuticals, and will continue to present serious issues for researchers in the academic, corporate, and public health arenas to address (Miele, 1997 Ciliberti and Molinelli, 2005).

In addition to the main document, a number of additional guidance documents have been published during recent years. These include an article in Pharmaceutical Engineeringf about a risk-based approach to computer validation. The article starts from the risk assessment given in GAMP 4 and provides a model for a system risk assessment based on the risk level of the business process supported by the system and the system vulnerability. As an outcome of this assessment, it summarizes which validation activities are appropriate for which risk level. 

The Defense Priority Model (DPM) is designed to provide an estimate of the relative potential risk to human health and the environment from sites containing hazardous materials. The DPM evolved from a model called the Hazard Assessment Risk Model (HARM) developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory from 1984-1986 for the Air Force. The automation of DPM was done first in KES(r) and then in Arity Prolog(r) for use on an IBM-PC/AT class machine. The computerized model has already become more sophisticated than the paper model and as development continues, it is possible to take advantage of additional expert system features. This paper is designed as a case study of DPM development and presents the reasons for the choice of expert system environment and its evolution, the current scope of the model, and planned additions that will increase the functionality of model in the future. The methodology used to evaluate this expert system is also described.

The collaborative process depicted in Fig. 15.10 provides a mechanism to address the roll-up issue. In the more difficult and contentious situations it may actually become necessary to develop and apply formal risk models for the issue at hand. These models seek to represent in explicit logic format the possible impacts that lower-level risk conditions may produce at the system level. For example, a formal mission risk or reliability model may be utilized to evaluate the potential mission risk contribution of a given component and to understand what level of additional testing may provide sufficient confidence in its reliability performance. Or, as another example, a formal schedule simulation model may be used to...
