Assignment:

Question 1) Construct a Fault Tree Analysis of the O-ring construction, keeping in mind the possibilities of temperature changes and other weather considerations. The top event of the Fault Tree Analysis (mishap) is the loss of the shuttle Challenger due to solid rocket motor O-ring construction. From your Fault Tree Analysis, draw conclusions in the form of a 1-2 page summary about the risks you found, their criticality based upon the risk assessment matrix, and probable ways to mitigate the risks that your fault tree showed. Your summary should include an actual fault tree showing correct transition gates and a short narrative of the analysis. If you are unable to get a computer program that will draw the gates correctly, it is OK to hand draw the fault tree out.

Question 2) A short narrative to tell the boss why the items you show in your chart are important and need to be addressed.
