Minnie Lee is an engineer with a multi-national aerospace company that produces fuel-line components for all types of air and space craft. Minnie discovered a potential defect in a particular fuel-line component. Minnie is the lead-engineer for this particular division and scheduled tests that would indicate the failure potential for the component. The tests indicated a very low risk that at certain very low, or very high temperatures, the component might fail, which in turn might lead to a catastrophic failure of the entire system.

Explanation / Answer

1.)))

A major risk in this situation is the failure of the entire system. According to Minnie tests done on the machinery detected a defect in the fuel-line. When we think about fuel-line failure we immediately contemplate the possibility of a catastrophe, events like fire, the aircraft exploding, and the lost of human beings goes through our mind. Even if the test indicated a low-risk it needs to be taken care of. If there is the possibility of a malfunction then it needs to be corrected before it becomes a disaster. Another risk we can point out is stakeholders finding out that a defective product was used even thought it was known to be faulty and human lives were taken for granted. This decision will harm the company
