Abstract
This paper provides a comprehensive and understandable example of evaluating and improving human factors in the context of physical system reliability, risk, and resilience. Reliability and risk assessments may take many forms. The author emphasizes the need to simultaneously consider physical equipment, human factors, and system interfaces through failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), reliability block diagrams (RBD), fault tree analysis (FTA) and facilitated team workshops.
