Bridge Failure Studies and Safety Engineering 2.1 HISTORY OF DISASTERS AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT 2.1.1 Unexpected Material Deterioration and Failure Engineering is usually about avoiding failures and investigating why failures occur and ways to fix the problem. There is a need to understand the conditions giving rise to past failures and ways to avoid such failures so that loss of life can be minimized. Historical events and selected case stud-ies demonstrate the causes of

This simulation game was developed by Sisk (1976). Basically‚ there are ten imaginary countries (Shima‚ Myna‚ Ila‚ Usa‚ Pam‚ Bonay‚ Shivey‚ Lani‚ Ranu and Bili) and each of these countries has three key elements to be considered: defense‚ resources and demography. The main purpose of this game‚ understanding the importance of negotiation and interdependence between countries. I would like to make some changes in the game for my class. Every student or group will choose their imaginary country.

Operations 202 Little Field Simulation Report Little Field Simulation Game is mainly about the inventory management and optimization problems which are occurring in a factory. Since the last report‚ we tried to generate more profit and took some actions to beat our competitors in market. Firstly‚ we examined our demand and completed job counts to check our productive capacity and inventory. It demonstrated that we were producing faster than our capacity and market had increasing level. Therefore;
