Abstract
Human and Organizational Factors account for eighty percent (80%) of high
consequence accidents in engineered systems (Bea 2001). To achieve high quality
in the lifecycle of increasingly complex engineered systems, it is imperative that
we assess and manage the risks attributed to human and organizational factors
of the system. A key step in mitigating these risks is to capture and build on the
knowledge gained from previous experience. To this end, a repository of Best
Practices and Lessons Learned (BP/LL) that is stored for efficient future recall is
proposed. By learning what has and has not worked in the past, project planners
with little experience can more proactively manage the risk inherent in complex
engineered systems and ultimately achieve higher quality.
