At the 17th International System Safety Conference, the award winning paper: "Beauty And The Beast - Use And Abuse Of The Fault Tree As A Tool"23 presented by R. Allen Long, Senior System Safety Engineer, described proper application and misapplications of the fault tree as a tool when evaluating complex systems. The author believes that to fully realize the FTA potential, the analyst must: 1) properly (and narrowly) define the Top Undesired Event; 2) arrange the tree into scenarios rather than "failures;" 3) use a consistent nomenclature to prevent confusing multiple failures as one failure or vice versa; and 4) use a computer program to perform cutset analysis. Above all, the analyst must be able and willing to work with a wide variety of engineering disciplines and subsystems. This includes the ability to see how the pieces fit in a system and to properly analyze the interactions at the interfaces.
