Abstract

This paper presents a novel method to quantify the effects of human-related factors on the risk of failure in manufacturing industries. When failures can be caused by operators, the decision maker must intervene to mitigate operator-related risk. There are numerous intervention methods possible; we develop a revenue model that provides the decision-maker with a systematic tool to perform a cost-benefit analysis, balancing the advantage of risk reduction, against the direct cost of the intervention method.
