  2. Chain of events - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_of_events

    In value theory. In value theory, it is the amount of cause and effects of the chain of events before generating intrinsic value that separates high and low grades of instrumental value. The chain of events duration is the time it takes to reach the terminal event. In value theory this is generally the intrinsic value (also called terminal value).

  3. Chain of events (accident analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_of_events_(accident...

    The Tenerife airport disaster, the worst accident in aviation history, is a prime example of an accident in which a chain of events and errors can be identified leading up to the crash. [9] Pilot error, communications problems, fog, and airfield congestion (due to a bomb threat and explosion at another airport) all contributed to this ...

  4. Event chain methodology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_chain_methodology

    Event chain methodology is a network analysis technique that is focused on identifying and managing events and relationships between them (event chains) that affect project schedules. It is an uncertainty modeling schedule technique. Event chain methodology is an extension of quantitative project risk analysis with Monte Carlo simulations.

  5. Root cause analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_cause_analysis

    In science and engineering, root cause analysis (RCA) is a method of problem solving used for identifying the root causes of faults or problems. [1] It is widely used in IT operations, manufacturing, telecommunications, industrial process control, accident analysis (e.g., in aviation, [2] rail transport, or nuclear plants), medical diagnosis, the healthcare industry (e.g., for epidemiology ...

  6. Proximate cause - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximate_cause

    Proximate cause is a key principle of insurance and is concerned with how the loss or damage actually occurred. There are several competing theories of proximate cause (see Other factors). For an act to be deemed to cause a harm, both tests must be met; proximate cause is a legal limitation on cause-in-fact. The formal Latin term for "but for ...

  7. Objective correlative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objective_correlative

    The only way of expressing emotion in the form of art is by finding an "objective correlative"; in other words, a set of objects, a situation, a chain of events which shall be the formula of that particular emotion; such that when the external facts, which must terminate in sensory experience, are given, the emotion is immediately evoked.

  8. Event chain diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_chain_diagram

    Event chain diagram. Event chain diagrams are visualizations that show the relationships between events and tasks and how the events affect each other. Event chain diagrams are introduced as a part of event chain methodology. Event chain methodology is an uncertainty modeling and schedule network analysis technique that is focused on ...

  9. Cascade effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_effect

    A cascade effect is an inevitable and sometimes unforeseen chain of events due to an act affecting a system. [1] If there is a possibility that the cascade effect will have a negative impact on the system, it is possible to analyze the effects with a consequence / impact analysis. Cascade effects are commonly visualised in tree structures, also ...
