I completely agree. My concern is that the problem is rooted in human psychology rather than process control, which makes it much harder to fix. My experience in aerospace is that the industry swings back and forth on this like a pendulum. A bad event happens and then there’s a focus on safety improvements. Then years or decades go by and no bad event happens. Rather than attribute this increased safety to the process changes, those very same changes are looked at as a burden? Why are we spending all this money and time on quality and safety checks, people say. It’s killing our schedule and budget, they conclude. So they work to erode those processes until another adverse event happens, albeit of a slightly different flavor. Rinse and repeat.
