The document discusses the return on investment (ROI) of implementing a safety management system (SMS) and safety management software in a manufacturing environment. It states that an SMS can reduce injury and illness costs by 20-40% according to OSHA, and that for every $1 invested in an SMS, companies see $2-$6 in savings. Implementing leading safety indicators through software allows companies to shift from reactive to proactive safety and identify risks before incidents occur. The document provides examples of tangible ROI from reduced data entry time, lower lost time injuries, and decreased workers' compensation premiums or experience modifier ratings.

Tips for IT Risk Management Prof. Hernan Huwyler Information Security InstituteHernan Huwyler, MBA CPA
This document provides tips for IT risk management, including what to do and what to avoid. It recommends facilitating risk assessments well before IT decisions are made. Key objectives for IT risks are confidentiality, integrity and availability of assets like data, hardware, software and skills. Examples are provided for measuring these objectives. Risk statements should identify measurable events, threats, consequences and probabilities. Quantitative methods like annualized loss expectancy and tools for calculating single loss can help measure impacts in monetary terms or other metrics. Internal and external data sources can provide statistics to tailor measurements to each organization. Subjective scales should be avoided in favor of statistical methods.
Small businesses face issues with software integration and data security that can impact their operations. A study surveyed and interviewed employees of small businesses to understand these issues. The main findings were:
1) Key software integration issues included a lack of communication about updates, software not functioning as needed, and crashes or glitches. This led to lost revenue.
2) Poor data security practices allowed minor breaches and attacks but hindered customer trust. Devices other than computers were often unsecured.
3) Improving practices like updating employees on software, analyzing business needs, regularly backing up data, and strengthening security could help address these problems. However, experts were sometimes reluctant to discuss weaknesses.

1) Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) aims to eliminate waste and losses in production processes through the involvement of all employees.
2) TPM identifies eight major equipment losses that reduce productivity and quality, including set-up time, minor stoppages, and defects.
3) Implementing TPM requires establishing organizational culture and systems focused on continuous improvement, problem-solving, and achieving higher performance targets through group efforts.
Over the past five years, companies of all sizes have been under increased pressure to improve IT efficiency and effectiveness.
IDC customer-based studies show that each year, the average midsize company experiences 15–18 business hours of network, system, or application downtime. Causes of downtime vary, but aging systems can have components or software that fail, while network connections and power grids can fail at any time because of external causes (e.g., weather, construction work, or natural disaster). Outages occurring during business hours result in revenue loss, as orders are dropped, customers move on, and employees cannot access critical applications. IDC research found that revenue losses per hour averaged $75,000. However, the adoption of best practices has allowed midsize companies to reduce downtime significantly in recent years. Solutions that improve system management, protect data assets from loss and unauthorized access, strengthen network security, and ensure availability directly reduce these losses at customer sites.

Graspan: A Big Data System for Big Code AnalysisAftab Hussain
We built a disk-based parallel graph system, Graspan, that uses a novel edge-pair centric computation model to compute dynamic transitive closures on very large program graphs.
We implement context-sensitive pointer/alias and dataflow analyses on Graspan. An evaluation of these analyses on large codebases such as Linux shows that their Graspan implementations scale to millions of lines of code and are much simpler than their original implementations.
These analyses were used to augment the existing checkers; these augmented checkers found 132 new NULL pointer bugs and 1308 unnecessary NULL tests in Linux 4.4.0-rc5, PostgreSQL 8.3.9, and Apache httpd 2.2.18.
- Accepted in ASPLOS ‘17, Xi’an, China.
- Featured in the tutorial, Systemized Program Analyses: A Big Data Perspective on Static Analysis Scalability, ASPLOS ‘17.
- Invited for presentation at SoCal PLS ‘16.
- Invited for poster presentation at PLDI SRC ‘16.
A Study of Variable-Role-based Feature Enrichment in Neural Models of CodeAftab Hussain
Understanding variable roles in code has been found to be helpful by students
in learning programming -- could variable roles help deep neural models in
performing coding tasks? We do an exploratory study.
- These are slides of the talk given at InteNSE'23: The 1st International Workshop on Interpretability and Robustness in Neural Software Engineering, co-located with the 45th International Conference on Software Engineering, ICSE 2023, Melbourne Australia
