Abstract:

The central theme of sustaining complex systems is finding and mitigating risks in time to mitigate them. These risks are usually in the form of hard-to-see emerging failure modes. Charlie will discuss how his team collaborated with government-run ICBM Guidance Set depot repair to help in the timely detection of new failure modes. Left to their perfectly reasonable goals, repair depots will maximize efficiency, throughput, and productivity. Processes in support of these goals can make it hard to notice emerging system problems.
