Brief summary of content:

This webinar is the third part of the Webinar Series: Systemic Methods in Complex and Digitalized Manufacturing, showcasing applied and analytical modeling research using FRAM and STAMP-STPA. The webinar is presented by members of the IEA Resilience Engineering Committee. The series focuses on applications in complex and digitalized manufacturing environments, including scenarios with complex manual work, digital gloves, smart glasses, and cobots.

The rapid advancement of Industry 4.0 increases interactions among humans, technologies, and organizations, resulting in greater complexity and new challenges. Traditional risk assessment methods may fail to identify all factors influencing system safety, necessitating innovative approaches. This study explores the use of the Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) and the Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes (STAMP) in assembly 4.0 contexts to enhance occupational health and safety (OHS) and operational risk analysis. STAMP offers a detailed examination of system components, while FRAM provides a broader view of their interconnections. By integrating these two methods, the proposed FRAM/STAMP approach leverages their strengths to address their individual shortcomings. This novel framework aims to improve risk analysis in assembly 4.0 systems, particularly during the design phase, ensuring safer interactions between humans and machines in the workplace.
