You would think that but I work for a company that believes SOMETHING could have been done to prevent the operator from screwing up. You wouldn't believe the man hours that are spent trying to idiot proof processes because an operator screwed up.


No such thing as idiot proof only idiot resistant, there will always be a slightly smarter idiot.

Sorry, I'll get off my engineering geek soap box now :coolgleamA:
I prefer not having and overly complex methodology when all you have to do is ask why and have the skills to answer that question until there's no longer the need to ask why. That a nutshell its root cause analysis.
