You can never maintain something to the point where it is free from "random" failure effects.<BR/><BR/>Neither can you predict at what point in a life cycle a component part may fail. Even brand new parts are not exempt, that's why cars have warranties. I have seen any number of VERY late model cars on the side of the road with their bonnets up and the RACQ in attendance. In this case the cause of the defect was eventually revealed as the random failure of a welded seam, it could equally have been the result of a stone puncture.<BR/><BR/>It is the severity of the consequence that determines what action must be taken to mitigate harm under a given random failure mode. Hence the reason most aircraft have duplicate redundant systems for flight critical systems. This is why cars have dual brakes and airbags. <BR/><BR/>Now radiators are not considered "critical" parts, so have no redundancy. There are NO actions you can take to make a radiator more reliable. The consequences of failure are not life threatening.<BR/><BR/>Planning and managerial skills eh...!<BR/><BR/>How about planning and managing the budgets for a $115M (operational expenditure) and $35M (capital expenditure)Information Technology Project.<BR/><BR/>Factman, I don't have to explain to you the difference between operational and capital expenditure...do I?<BR/><BR/>How about planning and managing the installation of one third of the base station infrastructure of a CDMA network, and bringing in my part of the project on time, and under budget($1M+ for "local" infrastructure).<BR/><BR/>How about planning and managing the maintenance and, at times, the operations of a Squadron of 20+ helicopters and managing the welfare of over 200 staff in places as far afield as SE Asia, on board ships, carrying out cyclone relief in the Pacific Islands and supporting scientific research in Antarctica.<BR/><BR/>Oh and by the way, the vehicle HAD recently been serviced.<BR/><BR/>Pete Johnston<BR/>Independent Candidate<BR/>Division 10Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-80302928769259989062008-02-28T18:04:00.000+10:002008-02-28T18:04:00.000+10:00Ha, ha...Fiction boy!Bloody hell, if your idea of ...Ha, ha...Fiction boy!<BR/><BR/>Bloody hell, if your idea of running something amounts to an analogy of Bill Philips-Turners' Chairmanship of the Mossman Mill, well heaven help us all. <BR/>It is unbelievable that in the midst of Australia’s longest economic boom that every major investment that the Mossman Mill has made has lost a considerable amount of money.<BR/>It is difficult to understand how this person could devote sufficient time to Division 10 when their priority should be saving the Mill from continuously losing millions dollars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-77150997031935259412008-02-28T17:19:00.000+10:002008-02-28T17:19:00.000+10:00Fiction boy!I thought you’d dropped dead it’s that...Fiction boy!<BR/><BR/>I thought you’d dropped dead it’s that long since you’ve poked your snivelling little nose in!<BR/>If Mill-Bill is the only man for the job, then why don’t you or one of the unity team insignificants put their commitment forward and declare their financial contributors??<BR/>Or are you as we’ve come to see from the existing-departing, Council all talk and no action!!<BR/>Sit down, have a drink or rum, imagine you’re now brave enough to take on Mike Tyson and name a few of the unity sponsors.
