Quality, Risk and the Taleb Quadrants
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009The definition and the management of quality has evolved and assumed a variety of approaches, responding to an increased variety of needs. In industry, quality and its control has responded to the need of maintaining an industrial process operating as “expected”, reducing the process sensitivity to uncontrolled disturbances (robustness).

Risk Adjustment for Quality Improvement
Pediatrics, 1999We can learn what is achievable with current technologies by comparing our neonatal intensive care unit outcomes with others. Because neonatal intensive care units may vary with respect to their case-mix, risk adjustment is essential to making fair comparisons in any research that does not equalize risks through randomization.

The Reliability-Quality Relationship for Quality Systems and Quality Risk Management
PDA Journal of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology, 2012Engineering reliability typically refers to the probability that a system, or any of its components, will perform a required function for a stated period of time and under specified operating conditions. As such, reliability is inextricably linked with time-dependent quality concepts, such as maintaining a state of control and predicting the chances of

Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A, 2007
Rather than attempt to provide a comprehensive account of air quality risk assessment, as might be found in a textbook or manual, this article discusses some issues that are of current importance in the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe, with special emphasis on risk assessment in the context of policy formulation, and emerging scientific knowledge.

In an increasingly competitive environment, it seems to be important to analyze risks in term of quality bound to the different strategies of outsourcing. Indeed, beyond the advantages of the outsourcing at the strategic, financial, organizational and operational level, the outsourcing hides significant dangers which greatly link to the quality of the ...

Quality plans and risk management plans must result in project tasks to be actioned, tracked and managed to completion, otherwise the vendor's quality plans and risk management plans are simply shelfware. One of the biggest causes of troubled projects is vendor over-confidence in their abilities.

Quality Assurance and Risk Reduction Guidelines
Acta Cytologica, 2000Cervical cancer continues to be a major cause of death in women worldwide. The major problem facing most women is the unavailability of screening Pap tests in poor and underdeveloped countries. While rates of cancer deaths have decreased 60-80% in developed countries since the Pap test became available, the accuracy of Paps was challenged recently.

This chapter focuses on the risk assessment goal of describing and characterizing knowledge and lack of knowledge. It reflects current thinking about risk, which shows a trend towards seeing uncertainty as a key element of risk, see for example the ISO 31000 definition of risk, the definition of risk by the Petroleum Safety Authority (PSA‐N 2015) and ...
