Estimate TRACEability and health checks
Published in Alan R. Jones, Principles, Process and Practice of Professional Number Juggling, 2018
We should recognise that no ‘one size fits all’, but instead we should look to each of our organisations and encourage them to write or adopt a procedure that encompasses the good practice principles for Spreadsheets in line with the six stages of modelling recommended by Read and Batson (1999): ScopeSpecificationDesignBuildInspectionUse How many of us, or our colleagues, go straight into ‘Build’ and then ‘Use’, and pay little attention (if any, being cynical about it) to the other four? (Yes, quite a show of hands there.)
Excavation work and confined spaces – hazards and risk control
Published in Phil Hughes, Ed Ferrett, Introduction to Health and Safety in Construction, 2015
The design and inspection of cofferdams or caissons is included in the CDM Regulations. These require that every cofferdam or caisson shall be: of suitable design and construction;appropriately equipped so that workers can gain shelter or escape if water or materials enter it; andproperly maintained.
Reverse Engineering and Inspection of Machined Parts in Manufacturing Systems

We discuss a design for inspection and reverse engineering environments. We investigate the use of the dynamic recursive context of discrete event dynamic systems (DRFSM DEDS) to guide and control the active exploration and sensing of mechanical parts for industrial inspection and reverse engineering, and utilize the recursive nature of the parts under consideration. In our work, we construct a sensing to CAD interface for the automatic reconstruction of parts from visual data. This chapter includes results and describes this interface in detail, demonstrating its effectiveness with reverse-engineered machined parts.
Feasibility study for an automated engineering change process

Our approach leverages existing design exploration and optimisation techniques to recommend design for inspection guidelines. Mechanical design represents a strong candidate domain for the use of such techniques given its underlying data's complexity and wide set of potential strategies, e.g. inspection rules (Rezaei-Malek et al., 2019).
