I liked the article - because it challenges a common accepted idea "root-cause" -- there is never "one" root cause -- there are many.
Fire = heat, fuel, oxygen (take away one -- you don't get the result) The Titanic sank -- why? Rudder too small Lookout people not properly trained Not double skinned walls Can't rivet on curved metal Hit ice-berg Went too fast Travel at night Any one of those could have "prevented" the issue. Root-cause should be relabeled "Contributing factors" (Or something like that). (and it should be a list :) (or a table in Remedy talk)) -John On Thu, Dec 20, 2012 at 3:23 PM, John Sundberg < john.sundb...@kineticdata.com> wrote: > http://www.theitsmreview.com/2012/12/railways-derailments/ > > -- > > *John Sundberg* > Kinetic Data, Inc. > "Your Business.
