Beschreibung
Resilience Engineering (RE) studies have successfully identified and described many instances of resilient performance in high hazard sectors as well as in the far more frequent cases where people and organisations cope with the uncertainties of daily operations. Since RE was first described in 2006, a steady accumulation of insights and efforts have provided the basis for practical tools and methods. This development has been documented by a series of texts in the Resilience Engineering Perspectives series as well as by a growing number of papers and reports.
This book encapsulates the essential practical lessons from the use of Resilience Engineering learned for more than the previous ten years. The main contents are a series of chapters written by those who have been instrumental in these applications. To increase the value for the reader, each chapter will include: rationale for the overall approach; data sought and reason(s) for choosing; data sources used, data analyses performed, and how recommendations were made and turned into practice.
Serving as a reference for practitioners who want to analyse, support, and manage resilient performance, this book also advances research into RE by inquiring why work goes well in unpredictable environments, improving work performance, or compensating for deficiencies.

This book encapsulates the essential practical lessons learned from the use of Resilience Engineering (RE) for over ten years. The main contents are a series of chapters written by those who have been instrumental in these applications. To increase the value for the reader, each chapter will include: rationale for the overall approach; data sought and reason(s) for choosing; data sources used, data analyses performed, and how recommendations were made and turned into practice.

Focuses on the development of resilience engineering (RE) as a concept and a field of practice that has contributed to expanding the scope of safety from a preoccupation with failure, to also include the acceptable everyday functioning of a system or an organisation Includes case studies that translate RE concepts into practice and demonstrates RE's practical value to researchers, operators, and managers using life experience Written in an accessible style to enable those who are new to RE to easily understand concepts and appeal to new practitioners and students
