Please, remain in that comfy armchair as you throw darts by the handful. Most people who have worked outside of academia, media.  government or the ivory towers of the top of the business food chains know: 1) JIT only works for the gorilla in the room rather than all those who feed him, 2) don't try to redefine Risk Management as risk elimination....QMS, even 16949, encourage risk MANAGEMENT.....as long as the gorilla is protected and the supplier survives enough to keep feeding him,  3) like making mistakes, the only way to ELIMINATE all risk is to do absolutely nothing,   3) when 'stuff' happens, and it does, a good organization works harder to adjust.....FMEAs don't cover everything, nor should they, and don't ensure a silky smooth ride  4) a successful QMS applies to, and is driven by, the registered organization and its personnel.......to expect or even suggest that the world or a country or a state could or should react as a well-trained and disciplined organization is, well, keep smoking that stuff.  You did hit close to home on bad data. A virtual panacea and playground for the 'players' of the world, there are so many facets to the misuse/abuse of data and the accompanying fallacious statistics that it would fill several books that probably wouldn't sell 10 copies. In the end, success will come down to incentives, either positive or negative. In hindsight, the only view from an armchair, you see the better performance where the incentives are aligned with the required results......and vice versa. What have YOU done to improve the world?
