Root causes: Installation & maintenance error

DEFINITION: although the correct component was designed, selected and implemented, it didn’t work properly due to improper installation or maintenance. It covers preventive and corrective maintenance (repair).    

EXAMPLES: wrong consumables replacement after maintenance; components erroneously installed (one-way valves placed in the wrong direction; bolts with wrong dimension, not properly sitting in the flange).
