Abstract:

The paper deals with a proposal for methodological support leading to the indication and the subsequent identification of risks during the design of technical products in the context of their life cycle. In the theoretical part of the paper, the state of knowledge in the area of risk and the research of the methods of their assessment are described, including the suitability of their use for specific life phases of the technical product from the point of view of the current state of knowledge and the author of the work. The paper also includes research involving Engineering Design Science and Methodology, namely the Theory of Technical Systems (TTS). This knowledge, supplemented and enriched by knowledge from the field of risk analysis, serves as the basis for the proposed methodology of risk analysis. This methodology has been verified by interdisciplinary student projects, led by the author of this paper and colleagues, and subsequently validated using specific industrial examples that verify the use of this approach.
