GERT: Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique: A Quantitative Hazard Analysis Tool.

Abstract

The aim of the report is to demonstrate another quantitative tool for system safety engineers performing hazard analysis. GERT failure mode analysis is presented, and shows good potential as a tool leading to hazard recognition. GERT is a means of handling stochastic networks with logical nodes. The GERT analysis is finished when the system is represented by an equivalent one-branch function yielding the sytem's failure or success probabilities as time dependent probabilities. (Author)
