ELIMINATION OF RISK IN SYSTEMS

Practical Principles for
Eliminating and Reducing Risk
in Complex systems

A new book by James Bradley, Ph.D.

   

Brief Book Description

This book is for professionals who must deal with complex systems. It lays out timeless and universal principles for dealing with systems where risk is involved, everything from aircraft and spacecraft systems to computer systems to military systems, and even financial and investment systems and social systems.

A proper understanding of the practical principles set forth in this book is certain to enhance the safe operation of all kinds of systems, as well as saving both lives and property, in years to come.

The book is written in a very readable style. There is a limited amount of mathematics in the book, never anything more advanced than simple algebra.

Each of the fundamental principles in the book is both expressed as a mathematical equation, and explained with diverse examples, revealing a ‘unity of principle, in a diversity of system phenomena’, and enabling the principles to be grasped without the need for mathematics.

NOTE: The entire foundation for this book rests on a fundamental risk equation. See the Abstract and Introduction for the recent paper entitled A Risk Hypothesis and Risk Measures for Throughput Capacity in Systems.
