Case
The city of Mango has several bus companies. During the last years the
frequency of bus accidents has gone up significantly. This has caused
much delay and inconvenience for the passengers. There have also been
several serious accidents in which passengers have been killed.
The newspapers have taken a particular interest in the problem, and some
of the companies that have had more than their share of bad publicity have
registered a reduction in the number of passengers.
Much of the problem is technical: the buses are old, and are in bad condition
because of a persistent lack of spare parts.
But the human factor is also important: many accidents have been caused
by high-speed driving on bad roads.
One of the companies have decided to identify the underlying causes and
find out what to do about the problem.
