Most failures in this category are considered as “bad.” These could have been foreseen but weren’t. This is the worst kind of failure, and it usually occurs because an employee didn’t follow best practices, didn’t have the right talent, or didn’t pay attention to detail. They usually deviate from specification in the closely defined processes or deviate from routine operations and maintenance practices. But in such cases, the causes can be readily identified and solutions can be developed.
