Repeated failures of an expensive new water pump have caused costly shut downs resulting in lost profit to the organization. The failures were caused by a leak, which resulted from a single mechanical seal. The single seal was specified because it was less expensive than the double seal option.

The project team were unaware that a single seal might prove insufficient in this particular pumping process. No-one sought advice about the most effective design criteria for the process and equipment requirements.

Guidelines for the purchase of capital equipment do not call for a reliability assessment. The project team were tasked to control costs and to complete the project quickly in order to get the product to market sooner.

What is the root cause of this problem?
