Question
Chapter 10.2, Problem 1.2RQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The outcomes that might have occurred if there had been failures or malfunctions in parts that were shipped to company S.
Case summary: In the given case, federal authorities accused a worker of a firm in the state of NY of forging signatures on inspection reports. An employee in question was a manufacturer in the company PM which specialized in high-tolerance machining to build space flight vehicles for company S and other contractors. The employee worked in the company PM as a quality assurance engineer and allegedly falsified several inspection reports by saying that the parts had been inspected but in actuality, they had not been inspected. If any part which is not inspected includes malfunction, then it could result in catastrophic failure of the company’s mission. When the employee was arrested by the authority, S also terminated its contract with the company PM. Therefore, the company ceased its operations which makes many workers jobless.

The remaining part of the case and Question below, PLEASE HELP
Fortunately, shipboard emergencies are infrequent, but when they do occur they are problematic. For instance, the Costa Concordia hit a rock and sank off Italy, causing32 people to die. A generator fire on the Carnival Triumph stranded 4000 passengers for four days. Sporadically, viruses causing diarrhea and vomiting strike cruise ships, causingCarnival to take an infected ship out of service to eradicate all traces of the virus by sanitizing virtually every object on board.Although these incidents are costly, the cruise industry has a fatality rate three times better than airlines.
Economic Issues
Spending for a cruise is generally considered discretionary. During recessions, people are more apt to take shorter cruises and to embark from nearby ports rather than flying to faraway points of departure. Interestingly, however, in comparison with other segments of the tourist industry, cruise lines have fared well during…

It was critical to understand exactly what had happened. The incident raised many questions; it was not just that the walkway fell or even that a miscalculation was evidently made, but also how every contributing factor came to exist and why errors were not caught earlier. The disaster in Kansas City occurred due to a connection that was overloaded because of an ill-advised change to a badly defined structural detail. The design failed to meet the requirements of the Kansas City Building Code. Checking the calculations at the design stage could have prevented this disaster. Investigations reveal that neither the designers nor the builders assumed responsibility for the final product. The design review process was ineffective. The accident was caused by relying on a longitudinal weld that wasn’t strong enough. For the engineering profession, the walkway collapse tragedy became a classic model in studying engineering ethics and errors.
