FRAM, the functional resonance analysis method : modelling complex socio-technical systems /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

There has not yet been a comprehensive method that goes behind 'human error' and beyond the failure concept, and various complicated accidents have accentuated the need for it. The Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) fulfils that need. This book presents a detailed and tested metho...
