“…Other examples, such as safety management in aviation [31] and the railways [153] might be the next parallels worth reviewing. Although this paper proposed a governance framework for the GoF, the approach could be extended to cover the whole Baltic Sea, or applied to any small scale vulnerable sea area.…”

A proactive approach for maritime safety policy making for the Gulf of Finland: Seeking best practices

et al. 2015

a b s t r a c tA rapid increase in maritime traffic together with challenging navigation conditions and a vulnerable ecosystem has evoked calls for improving maritime safety in the Gulf of Finland, the Baltic Sea. It is suggested that these improvements will be the result of adopting a regionally effective proactive approach to safety policy formulation and management. A proactive approach is grounded on a formal process of identifying, assessing and evaluating accident risks, and adjusting policies or management practices before accidents happen. Currently, maritime safety is globally regulated by internationally agreed prescriptive rules, which are usually revised in reaction to accidents. The proactive Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) is applied to risks common to a ship type or to a particular hazard, when deemed necessary, whereas regional FSA applications are rare. An extensive literature review was conducted in order to examine the opportunities for developing a framework for the GoF for handling regional risks at regional level. Best practices were sought from nuclear safety management and fisheries management, and from a particular case related to maritime risk management. A regional approach that sees maritime safety as a holistic system, and manages it by combining a scientific risk assessment with stakeholder input to identify risks and risk control options, and to evaluate risks is proposed. A regional risk governance framework can improve safety by focusing on actual regional risks, designing tailor-made safety measures to control them, enhancing a positive safety culture in the shipping industry, and by increasing trust among all involved.

“…In considerations and analyses regarding safe systems, the concept of a risk model is used because a real risk is not known and cannot be specified. Therefore, the risk analysis must be preceded by a risk model that takes into account, in turn, the human being, real risk, description of the risk (concept mapping), risk model, and risk analysis [11,22,23].…”

Method for Selecting the Safety Integrity Level for the Control-Command and Signaling Functions

et al. 2019

The purpose of the article is to present selected method of risk assessment of railway control and signaling systems, including current normative and legal bases, such as directives and regulations that regulate the interoperability and safety of the railway system. Selected methods used at the initial stage of creating safety requirements and referring to the initial definition of the system defined at a high level of abstraction are considered. Issues of holistic approach and residual risk management are also discussed. Risk models are presented as well as individual steps of risk analysis, evaluation, and assessment, including hazard identification, impact analysis, and selection of the risk acceptance principle. Selected model based on hazard and operability studies (HAZOP) and an adapted risk graph was applied to the real signalling equipment. The key aspect undertaken in the article is the proposal to set quantitative safety objectives based on the safety integrity level/tolerable hazard rate (SIL/THR) indicator, as an important parameter in further analysis of the system, especially in computer applications. The result of study showed that application of proposed combination HAZOP and adapted risk graph method are efficient and suitable for a railway signalling application. The results and conclusion are presented in Chapters 4 and 6 of the article.

“…They support qualitative not quantitative analysis [34] [35] that is why these tools are not preferred for ERP Implementation, the FTA does not consider the severity of failure [36] and in complex system such as ERP that includes large number of equipment and process variables the fault tree becomes lager and takes long time to be completed, and they become much more difficult to solve [34] [37][38], and also these make FTA not a preferred choice, and takes a long time to be completed, and they become much more difficult to solve [34] [37][38], and also these make FTA, not a preferred choice, HACCP is originated in the food industry [39] [40], and hence it is more logic to used it in ERP system Implemented in food industry.…”

The Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation projects have high failure rates. Any conflict done during the ERP implementation process leads to errors in business decision making, decrease productivity and profitability, and can affect the project success. The main purpose in this paper using Failure Modes Effects Analysis (FMEA) approach to deal with help in increasing the success rate of ERP implementation projects. This achieved through defining main failures and failure factors related to ERP implementations. The ERP projects are divided into three stages; Pre, during and post implementation. Each stage analyzed to define its main characteristics and its different failures and failure factors. Many risks can affect and lead to failure in ERP Implementation. The risk management techniques are very useful before, during and post ERP Implementation phases. The FMEA approach assesses and evaluates the defined failures and failure factors providing a quantitative measure for each risk of failure. Our study describes how to reduce ERP Failures by decreasing the risk value, so the researchers enhance the FMEA approach by a Proposed Enhanced FMEA approach to measure the risk. Based on the four organizational critical areas the researchers' uses four sub categorization aspects, Financial, Customer, Legal & Regulation, and Business Operation. The Enhanced FMEA approach leading to success of ERP implementation.
