  2. Fail fast (business) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fail_fast_(business)

    The concept has been widely employed as a metaphor in business, dating back to at least 2001. [5] It is widely used in the technology and pharmaceutical industries. [2] [3] It became a mantra and badge of honor within startup culture and particularly within the technology industry and in the United States' Silicon Valley, where it is a common part of corporate culture.

  3. Technique for human error-rate prediction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technique_for_human_error...

    HEPs for each sub-task are entered into the tree; all failure branches must have a known probability, otherwise the system will fail to provide a final answer. HRAETs provide the function of breaking down the primary operator tasks into finer steps, which are represented in the form of successes and failures.

  4. Risk matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_matrix

    Risk is the lack of certainty about the outcome of making a particular choice. Statistically, the level of downside risk can be calculated as the product of the probability that harm occurs (e.g., that an accident happens) multiplied by the severity of that harm (i.e., the average amount of harm or more conservatively the maximum credible amount of harm).

  5. Success likelihood index method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Success_likelihood_index...

    The ideal is the point at which the PSF least degrades performance – for instance both low and high time pressure may contribute to increasing the chance of failure. The MAUD software then rescales all other ratings made on the scale in terms of their distance from this ideal point, with the closest being assigned as a 1 and the furthest from ...

  6. Survival analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survival_analysis

    The likelihood function for a survival model, in the presence of censored data, is formulated as follows. By definition the likelihood function is the conditional probability of the data given the parameters of the model. It is customary to assume that the data are independent given the parameters.

  7. Influence diagrams approach - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influence_diagrams_approach

    Calculate the unconditional probability of target event and unconditional weight of evidence of middle-level influences For the various combinations of influences that have been considered, the experts identify direct estimates of the likelihood of either success or failure. 8. Compare these results to the holistic judgements of HEPs by the ...

  8. Bathtub curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathtub_curve

    The last region is an increasing failure rate due to wear-out failures. Not all products exhibit a bathtub curve failure rate. A product is said to follow the bathtub curve if in the early life of a product, the failure rate decreases as defective products are identified and discarded, and early sources of potential failure such as ...

  9. Change management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_management

    This can result in drastic profit and/or market share losses. Organizational change directly affects all departments and employees. The entire company must learn how to handle changes to the organization. The effectiveness of change management can have a strong positive or negative impact on employee morale.
