Establishing Need n n n Concern for health, safety and quality of life of public Redesign existing product Better solution for a particular task
All Problems are not Equal
Success vs. Failure - inability of engineering solution to p its intended function Error - underlying cause for failure
Causes of Failure n n n Concrete level - Specific physical source (O-ring seal in Challenger) Process Level - Invalid assumptions or flawed execution (O-ring gaskets and putty assumed sufficient on Challenger) Perspective Level - Flawed value system (Manufacturer of Challenger boosterrocket overrode engineering recommendations)
