Summary
Systems engineering principles are currently being applied to system safety best practices in several industries, as well as state and local governments. This book covers the payoff in both dollars and goodwill to the investment made in merging those two important and often neglected disciplines. It can be read, understood, and acted upon by the Chief Executive Officer of a multinational corporation, right down to the line manager of systems engineering or the technical professional in the safety department. The value in terms of cost savings, be it in the form of financial, human, or social capital, is clearly illustrated with real world examples.
