    This wouldn't have happened if he had done an FMEA, first.

    This isn't rocket science we're doin' here.

    Oh, and BTW, FMEA was actually developed by...you guessed it: rocket scientists! :p

    (FMEA: Failure Mode Effects Analysis. A failure mode is anything that can go wrong).

    You're a weird dude, Puma Cat. Go forth with your weirdness and conquer.

    I must have reached the end of the Internet, beacuse you have me googling “hazop vs fmea”. After reading up on FMEA, I realized the HAZOP analysis methods that I’ve always used have FMEA integrated into it.

    (And now I’m reading papers on System-Theoretic Process Analysis, lol.)

    I'm just a molecular biologist. Oh, and a Design for Six Sigma Master Black Belt...

    I also studied assiduously as a classical ballet dancer for 10 years with world-class (RAD) instruction; after that I took up motorcycle roadracing at Sears Point, but I digress...

    Yeah, FMEA was actually developed by NASA in the 60s, when they were doin' stuff they had never done before, like shootin' rockets with fighter jocks into space, and needed to figure out what could go wrong beforehand, and needed to prevent it from happening. It's a very useful and flexible quality tool.

    System-Theoretic Process Analysis sounds really cool; I'll have to read up on that...
