Abbas }, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {This paper highlights some of the normative issues that might result by setting independent thresholds in risk analyses and particularly with safety regions. A second objective is to explain how such regions can be specified appropriately in a meaningful way. We start with a review of the importance of setting deterministic trade-offs among target requirements. We then show how to determine safety regions for risk analysis appropriately using utility functions. }, journal = {International Journal of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering}, volume = {10}, number = {8}, year = {2016}, pages = {1552 - 1556}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10005245}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/116}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 116, 2016}, }
