Prevent •Preventive action depends on our  understanding of causation; what causes various  types of breakdowns.   •When breakdowns occur despite our efforts to  prevent, that tells us we have something more  to learn about cause and effect.

Detect

When breakdowns do occur, we want to detect  them as close to their point of origin as  possible, to contain the damage. That is one of  the good arguments for small batches and for  self inspection.

Whys Machine was in another area of the project (in Huittinen) The soil was clay, which was not expected

Not important, doesn't affect other work Examination is expensive

Wet place

The soil was different than expected

Decieded that the crusher in this place would be reasonable

At this point the crushed aggregate

The planned buying of the crushed aggregate was more expensive

The blasting had to be done in smaller amounts

The traffic can only be stopped for 12 minutes

The rock will fall on the road

Prices for the rock got up

Instead of building the bank, we took the crusher to this location The crusher was tested and it didn't achieve the power expected

Didn't achieve the amount Soil not suitable for the slopes

Machine breakdown Decieded not to take all out because of the temporary road. The machine working in Huittinen Curshed more than expected The power was more than expected Was finished early The power was more than expected The bank was not in the right level Clay, will be used for slopes later Was finished early There was not suitable material for the suitable soil for the temporary road

Field Guide to Understanding Human Error By Sidney Dekker  1. Systems are not inherently safe or stable. Safety and  stability is created by human action stability is created by human action. 2. “Human error” is not a useful finding from  breakdown analysis. It doesn’t explain why what was  done made sense to those who did it.  3. If it made sense to them, it’s likely to make sense to  others in similar circumstances. 4.

The Royal Majesty Accident On June 10, 1995, a passenger ship named Royal Majesty left St. Georges in Bermuda. On board were 1509 passengers and crewmembers who had Boston as their destination destination—677 677 miles away, away of which more than 500 would be over open ocean. Innovations in technology have led to the use of advanced automated systems on modern maritime vessels. Shortly after departure, the ship’s navigator set the ship’s autopilot in the navigation (NAV) mode. In this mode, the autopilot automatically corrects for the effects of set and drift caused by the sea, wind and current in order to keep the vessel within a preset distance of its programmed track.

Not long after departure, when the Royal Majesty dropped off the St. Georges harbor pilot, the navigator compared the position data displayed by the GPS (satellite‐based) and the Loran (ground/radio‐based) positioning systems. He found that the two sets of data indicated positions within about a mile of each other—the expected accuracy in that part of the world. From there on, the Royal Majesty followed its programmed track (336 degrees), as indicated on the automatic radar plotting aid. The navigator plotted hourly fixes on charts of the area using position data from the GPS. Loran oran was used only as a back‐up system, and when checked early on, it revealed positions about 1 mile southeast of the GPS position. About 34 hours after departure, the Royal Majesty ran aground near Nantucket Island. It was about 17 miles off course. The investigation found that the cable leading from the GPS receiver to its antenna had come loose and that the GPS unit (the sole source of navigation input to the autopilot) had defaulted to dead‐ reckoning (DR) mode about half an hour after departure. Evidence about the loss of signal and default to DR mode was minimal, contained in a few short beeps and a small mode annunication on a tiny LCD display meters from where the crew normally worked. In DR mode, there was no more correction for drift. A northeasterly wind had blown the Royal Majesty further and further west.

From the investigation board’s report: “Thus, had the officers regularly compared position information from the GPS  and the Loran‐C, they should not have missed the discrepant coordinates,  particularly as the vessel progressed farther from its intended track.” There were sightings of things that were not on the intended route. The  report says:  “The second officer’s response to these sightings should have  been deliberate and straightforward. He should have been concerned as soon  as the BB buoy was not sighted and then again when the lookouts sighted the  red lights. Additionally, the second officer should have checked the Loran‐C….”

What do you make of the investigation  What do you make of the investigation board’s report? What needs explaining is why normal, professional seamen are liable to  misinterpret cues, especially slightly ambiguous cues. The report does not  provide an explanation. It simply says that the 2nd officer did not do what a  good seaman would have done.

The Swissair 111 accident During the Swissair 111 flight, the crew noticed smoke in the cockpit. A diversion airport (Halifax) was in their vicinity, but they did not make an emergency descent, and never made it there. Instead, the pilots took time sizing up the situation, going through checklists, and making preparations for fuel dumping to reduce their landing weight. The developing fire caught up with them and rendered the aircraft uncontrollable. It crashed into the sea, killing everybody onboard.

How to analyze this breakdown? The following statements are from the accident  investigation report. “When the pilots started their descent toward Halifax at 0115:36, they had assessed that h they h were faced f d with h an air conditioning d smoke k anomaly l that h did d d not require an emergency descent. Based on their perception of the limited cues available, they took steps to prepare the aircraft for an expedited descent, but not an emergency descent and landing.”

What do you make of this right off the bat?

32

07-04-2010

“The pilots were unfamiliar with the Halifax International airport and did not have the approach charts readily available. The back‐course instrument landing approach to Runway 06 was not pre‐programmed into their flight management system. The pilots knew that they would have to take additional time to familiarize themselves with, and set up for, the approach and landing. They were given the weather information by the crew of an overflying aircraft, but did not know the runway lengths or orientation. Having runway and instrument approach information available is normal practice and is important in carrying out a safe approach and landing, particularly at an unfamiliar airport at night. …The pilots also knew that the weight of the aircraft exceeded the maximum overweight landing limits for non‐emergency conditions. In addition to these flight management circumstances, the pilots were aware that the meal service was underway, and that it would take some time to secure the cabin for a safe landing. Given the minimal threat from what they perceived to be air conditioning smoke, and the fact that there were no anomalies reported from the passenger cabin, they would likely have considered there to be a greater risk to the passengers and cabin crew if they were to conduct an emergency descent and landing without having prepared the cabin and positioned the aircraft for a stabilized approach and landing. It can be concluded that the pilots would have assessed the relative risks differently had they known that there was a fire in the aircraft.”

Going to gemba on the Cathedral Hill  Hospital Project Observe meetings, formal or informal.  Ask if it is okay to observe. Explain that you and other managers on the  project are beginning the lean practice of ‘going to gemba’; i.e.,  going to where the work is happening in order to see what’s going  on and to offer help. Listen for the language of reliable promising, for assumptions about  value, for processes that constrain performance. When you feel  y p g q ready and it is not disruptive to the meeting, ask questions to focus  attention on what you have observed. Ask how you can help. If  appropriate, get and make commitments to act.  Plan to follow up on future gemba walks.

Going to gemba on the Cathedral Hill  Hospital Project (continued) Note: The negotiation step in reliable promising is one thing to  observe closely because it is where behavior impacts  coordination. Let’s develop dialogues that illustrate  di i L ’ d l di l h ill effective behavior; for example, the ‘customer’ making a  request does so clearly and precisely, then after hearing the  initial response, asks what change in the request would  enable a commitment to be made, or would increase the  probability of the commitment being met. Another  example: the ‘responder’ always tests their understanding  of the request by saying back what they heard and what of the request by saying back what they heard and what  they understood it to imply. If they feel uncomfortable  making a commitment, they explain their concerns and  make a counteroffer.

Going to gemba on the Cathedral Hill  Hospital Project (continued yet again) Talk with individuals. “Do you have a few minutes to talk about your work on the project?” If  they do not, schedule a time to talk. If they do, “As you likely know,  one of our project objectives is to encourage everyone to improve  how their work is done. Would you please share how you have  improved the way you do your job, or how you intend to improve  the way you do your job?”  p q y Listen to the response and question until understood. Ask how you can  help. Get commitments/make commitments. Write them down.  Plan to follow up on future gemba walks.

Leader Standard Work The closer to production, the more a supervisor’s  time is spent on repetitive, standard tasks such as  team meetings, gemba walks with supervisors,  training team members, planning the next  day’s/week’s work, identifying and removing  constraints on planned tasks, charting and  posting visual controls. In repetitive  manufacturing, 80% of a front line supervisor’s  time is spent on standard tasks; but only 50% of a  second level supervisor’s time, and even less  further ‘up’ the organizational hierarchy.
