ACM fol- lows a non-prescriptive paradigm. That is, the business users have the freedom to decide what is to be done in order to achieve a business goal. Consequently, processes in ACM range between semi-structured and completely unstructured, and ad hoc actions can be performed in reaction to unforeseeable events. This high degree of flexibility comes along with challenges regarding behavioral consistency. Many knowledge-intensive domains are subject to a vast and ever-growing amount of behavioral constraints stemming from sources such as laws, standards, business contracts, and best prac- tices, to name but a few. To preserve the high flexibility of ACM during case execution, such behavioral constraints must be integrated with great care. In particular, it must be avoided to introduce any kind of rigidness that would pose an obstacle for flexibility during case execution since flexibility is the core feature and a major selling point of ACM. Moreover, during the de- sign of case templates, which can be used as basis for case execution, business administrators are challenged not to introduce errors that would lead to behavioral inconsistencies during case execution. While the state of the art provides numerous approaches for behavioral verification of flow-driven business processes, case modeling is a relatively new paradigm with a lack of sufficient support for behavioral verification. This thesis aims to make formal/technical as well as empirical contributions to support behav- ioral consistency in ACM. To support business administrators during the creation or amendment of case templates, this thesis proposes an approach for the efficient behavioral verification of case templates based on reduction techniques and model checking. By offering a business- driven approach based on business ontology and high-level behavioral patterns for the creation of behavioral constraints, business users are enabled to specify behavioral constraints using the language and terminology of their business domain. This approach shifts the control over the im- plemented constraints to the business domain, and the constraints are used during case execution for supporting the business users in staying consistent with desired behaviors. On the technical side, behavioral constraints are often formalized in temporal logics, most notably Linear Tem- poral Logic (LTL). While business users are shielded from the complexity of temporal logics by v highly abstracted patterns, technical users who implement these patterns are challenged to write correct LTL formulas. To support the creation of correct LTL formulas, plausibility checking of LTL formulas is proposed. The plausibility checking approach makes use of Event Processing Language (EPL) for the creation of plausibility specifications. The results of three controlled experiments on the understandability of behavioral constraint representations (with 70, 146 and 215 participants) suggest that EPL specifications are significantly more understandable than LTL specifications. The same empirical studies also suggest that the highest degree of understand- ability is provided by using a pattern-based approach for behavioral consistency specifications, which provides evidence that this approach is highly suitable for defining behavioral constraints in ACM. Another empirical study with 116 participants focused on the understandability of tex- tual and graphical pattern-based behavioral constraint representations. The results of this study suggest that there are no significant differences in understandability between graphical and tex- tual pattern-based behavioral constraint representations. vi Zusammenfassung Adaptive Case Management (ACM) ist Teil eines sich abzeichnenden Trends im Bereich des Geschäftsprozessmanagements, der hochflexible, prozess-getriebene Informationssysteme er- möglichen soll. ACM folgt dabei einem nicht-präskriptiven Paradigma, was bedeutet, dass die Geschäftsbenutzer die Freiheit haben zu entscheiden, was zu tun ist, um ein Geschäftsziel zu erreichen. Folglich sind die Prozesse in ACM halbstrukturierten bis vollständig unstrukturiert, und Ad-hoc-Aktionen können als Reaktion auf unvorhersehbare Ereignisse ausgeführt werden. Diese hohe Flexibilität ist mit Herausforderungen hinsichtlich der Konsistenz mit erwünsch- tem Verhalten während der Fallausführung verbunden. Viele wissensintensive Bereiche unter- liegen einer großen und ständig wachsenden Anzahl von Verhaltensbeschränkungen, die sich aus Quellen wie Gesetzen, Standards, Geschäftsverträgen und Best Practices ergeben, um nur einige zu nennen. Um die hohe Flexibilität von ACM während der Umsetzung von Fällen zu bewahren, müssen solche Verhaltensbeschränkungen mit großer Sorgfalt integriert werden. Ins- besondere muss vermieden werden, dass irgendeine Art von Starrheit eingeführt wird, die ein Hindernis für die Flexibilität bei der Behandlung von Fällen darstellen würde, da Flexibilität das Kernmerkmal und ein wichtiges Verkaufsargument von ACM ist. Bei der Entwicklung von Fall- vorlagen, die als Grundlage für die Umsetzung von Fällen verwendet werden können, werden Geschäftsadministratoren darüber hinaus aufgefordert, keine Fehler einzuführen, die zu Verhal- tensinkonsistenzen während der Fallausführung führen würden. Während der Stand der Tech- nik zahlreiche Ansätze für die Verhaltensverifizierung von flussgetriebenen Geschäftsprozessen bietet, ist die Fallmodellierung ein relativ neues Paradigma mit einem Mangel an ausreichender Unterstützung für die Verhaltensverifizierung. Diese Arbeit zielt darauf ab, formale/technische sowie empirische Beiträge zur Unterstüt- zung der Verhaltenskonsistenz in ACM zu leisten. Zur Unterstützung von Unternehmensadmi- nistratoren bei der Erstellung oder Änderung von Fallvorlagen wird in dieser Arbeit ein Ansatz zur effizienten Verhaltensverifikation von Fallvorlagen vorgeschlagen, der auf Reduktionstech- niken und Modellprüfungen basiert. Durch die Bereitstellung eines geschäftsorientierten An- satzes auf der Grundlage von Geschäftsontologie und hoch abstrahierte Verhaltensmustern zur Schaffung von Verhaltensbeschränkungen können Geschäftsbenutzer Verhaltensbeschränkun- gen anhand der Sprache und Terminologie ihres Geschäftsbereichs festlegen. Dieser Ansatz vii verlagert die Kontrolle über die implementierten Einschränkungen auf die Geschäftsdomäne, und die Einschränkungen werden während der Fallausführung verwendet, um die Geschäfts- benutzer dabei zu unterstützen, mit den gewünschten Verhaltensweisen konsistent zu bleiben. Auf der technischen Seite werden Verhaltensbeschränkungen häufig in zeitlichen Logiken for- malisiert, vor allem in Linear Temporal Logic (LTL). Während Geschäftsbenutzer durch hoch abstrahierte Muster von der Komplexität temporaler Logiken abgeschirmt sind, sind techni- sche Benutzer, die diese Muster implementieren, gefordert, korrekte LTL-Formeln zu schrei- ben. Um die Erstellung korrekter LTL-Formeln zu unterstützen, wird eine Plausibilitätsprüfung von LTL-Formeln vorgeschlagen. Der Plausibilitätsprüfungsansatz verwendet Event Processing Language (EPL) zur Erstellung von Plausibilitätsspezifikationen. Die Ergebnisse von drei kon- trollierten Experimenten

  • ISO 45001- Safety Management System Discussion Abstract May 2016
    Aon Risk Solutions Aon Global Risk Consulting ISO 45001- Safety Management System Discussion Abstract May 2016 Risk. Reinsurance. Human Resources. Aon Risk Solutions Aon Global Risk Consulting Summary of Safety Management Standards Safety management is a topic of significant concern for many organizations. When you consider how many activities must be undertaken and overseen to execute and implement a successful organization- wide safety process, results demonstrate the investment provides clear and measurable value. Although different organizations and industries face unique risks and have distinct safety requirements, there remains a commonality in safety practices that can be managed within certain tolerances. Additionally, fundamental practices, such as risk identification and assessment, incident investigation, employee engagement, and auditing, have universal application among organizations worldwide. To this end, a number of consensus standards have been established that provide guidance to help organizations establish internal safety management protocols. These standards provide the foundation and framework that enable organizations to model safety practices and activities. These standards provide guidance for the development, implementation, execution, and sustainment of safety management practices. These standards are often specific to the country or environment where the organization conducts its operations and in turn allows firms to address region- or country-specific regulatory expectations enabling them to tailor the standard’s expectations to meet those regulations. However, this has also resulted in a plethora of standards which vary in some notable ways. In an attempt to expand the degree of standardization of safety practices, the International Standards Organization (ISO) began working on unifying safety standards. This effort traces its roots back to the mid-2000’s; however, the first formal ISO 45001 committee was not convened until 2010 and then required four years to develop the first draft standard.

  • Position on Environmental Health and Safety Management
    Position on Environmental Health and Safety Management Background Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) Management refers to the practices that protect environmental health and safety for the people in and around our workplaces—key elements of being a responsible corporate citizen and a resilient business. Strong EH&S Management requires clear systems and processes, especially in large businesses with multiple manufacturing and logistics facilities, that enable risk-based assessment and control of environmental impacts and health and safety hazards. In many cases, regulation defines minimum standards, and EH&S Management systems must therefore support compliance, as well as drive continuous improvement and learning. Relevance As the world’s largest and most broadly based healthcare company, Johnson & Johnson relies on a safe, healthy and resilient workforce and environment to provide products and solutions that improve the health and well-being of people around the world. Our responsibility as stewards of the environment and as an employer committed to protecting the health and safety of our workforce contributes to the success of our business and our positive reputation. It is also foundational to our purpose to profoundly change the trajectory of health for humanity. EH&S Management is also critically important to our stakeholders, who expect Johnson & Johnson to perform strongly in this area and to publicly disclose details of our performance. Guiding Principles Our Credo defines our responsibilities and Company values, including those for employee safety and environmental stewardship, and states: “We are responsible to our employees who work with us throughout the world… working conditions must be clean, orderly and safe… We must maintain in good order the property we are privileged to use, protecting the environment and natural resources.” Our Position The Johnson & Johnson EH&S organization is committed to creating safe and healthy places for people to live, work and thrive.

When designing a machine, the design must stem from a risk assessment, where all stages of its life cycle and the ways to use it must be taken into consideration. In industrial operations with old machinery, despite fulfilling its function reliably, the safety level is below the developing requirements for safe operations. The proposed methodology to assess machinery safety conditions comes from the assumption of the proper application of risk assessment steps and their effectiveness in risk reduction mainly through implementing both effective and efficient preventive measures. The objective of the research applied in three operations was to verify the methods concerning machinery safety and its management. The created methodology, based on 19 requirements for safety, evaluates the level of current measures using a criterion of the current safety status and the total effectiveness of safety measures.
