Assessing the Columbia Disaster with the Burke-Litwin Model
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper evaluating the utility of the Burke-Litwin conceptual framework for evaluating the loss of the space shuttle Columbia in 2003. The Burke-Litwin model is appropriate for assessing a situation as complex as that concerning the loss of Columbia. A less involved, more technically-oriented approach likely would have failed to identify the real reasons for the loss of Columbia, which essentially constituted an extension of the reasons underlying the loss of Challenger. The approach that the CAIB took in investigating Columbia may well have broken the chain of failure. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
