Popis: Very few systems can operate without error. Even a system that has existed for some time and has operated with a high degree of effectiveness is likely to include some error production. In such a system errors could be a result of a simple mismatch of situation and response; that is, the system attempts to subject a situation to its mode of processing or analysis even though the information is not suitable. Mismatches of this kind can be an accident that allows the system to work effectively in successive instances. Alternately, they can reflect a change in the internal or external environment in which the system operates that requires a reorganization in order for that system to become operative again.
