Security measures taken in isolation and without reference to a concrete and relevant assessment and evaluation of actual risks are doomed to be inefficient. At best they do not address the real issues facing an organization and simply waste resources, at worst they provide management with inappropriate comfort over the level of security management that is in place. This paper reviews the key points...
Medical device manufacturers are responsible for ensuring that their medical products are safe. However, safe does not mean zero risk. A safe product is one that has reasonable risks, given the magnitude of the benefit expected an d the alternatives available. Medical device manufacturers, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and medical device users have an important role to play in maintaining...
This brief examines how control engineering and risk management techniques can be applied in the field of behavioral health through their use in the design and implementation of adaptive behavioral interventions. Adaptive interventions are gaining increasing acceptance as a means to improve prevention and treatment of chronic, relapsing disorders, such as abuse of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs,...
In order to adapt to the development of food enterprises, that more and more logistics operations will be outsourced by food companies increasingly. So to manage the risks become one of the most important issues. In order to control the risk of logistics outsourcing better, so that this paper analyzes food enterprises' risk of logistics outsourcing, then use the method-fuzzy evaluation to construct...
Risk management is the systematic application of management strategies, procedures, and practices to the identifying, analyzing, controlling, and monitoring of process risk. It is an important guarantee to keep good quality and reduce failures of product. For medical device, it has more risk to relate with patient health and human life, so it is necessary to manage the process risk through the lifecycle...
Risk control is of great importance for software project management. However, the software risk control currently depends on the manager's subjective judgments, and lacks quantitative supporting tools. In this paper a software risk control optimization model is presented. By forming project strategy and increasing activities' costs, the objective of maximizing the expected value of project's capital...
The paper aims to contribute to the improvement of all the phases of the risk management process, enlarging the traditional description of cause-effect mechanisms (called ??pathology?? based risk analysis) with some ??inherent?? characteristics of operational risk that could impact on the organizations core capabilities (called ??anatomy?? based risk analysis). After the proposal of a new operational...
In the congested urban areas, tunneling-induced ground movements may cause a serious damage to the adjacent buildings. Consequently, the safety risk management (SRM) of structures during tunnel excavation is critical for ensuring safety (including personnel safety inside the tunnel and safety of structures above) and construction quality. This paper describes the importance of SRM based on some building-damaged...
The growing demands for the trustworthiness of software pose an unprecedented challenge to software industry. An integrated trustworthy software process model is proposed to help improve software process risk management towards trustworthy software, which contains risk management, development process management and deliverables monitoring. Furthermore, based on this process model, a model framework...
In this period of grave economic uncertainty, organizations have to manage increasingly complicated situations in an environment that is subject to massive and rapid evolution. A solely intuitive approach to risk management is no longer sufficient when considering the need to optimize investments in relation to security. It is necessary to find the often difficult balance between the cost of risks...
This study aimed to explore the relationship between three kinds of risk characteristics, anxiety, controllability and predictability respectively, and their effects on total risk perception, and their relationship with risk-coping behaviors in e-commerce transactions. 174 individual suppliers participated in the survey. Results indicated that: a) the correlation between controllability and predictability...
