This module introduces key concepts relating to risk, decision making in situations of high uncertainty, and the factors that determine system resilience. The module covers the human dimension of how choices are made (including psychological traps and team dynamics), and the relationship between risk and margin is examined. The human dimension is further explored regarding its contribution to successful systems, including that of human factors in HMI/HCI design and the role of humans as both operators and parts of systems. Failure avoidance and tolerance are investigated through different tools and techniques, together with the contribution of different system viewpoints and classifications. Key terminology such as system reliability and availability are discussed, alongside their relationship with quality and value engineering.
