| Abstract: |
Against the personal background of working in computational research, in design and in quality management, personal views on uncertainties, on human error and learning are presented. They refer to ground-breaking work from ETH Zurich in the 1970s and expand on the Swiss approach to a holistic quality management in the construction sector, which may seem “old-fashioned” in today’s price-driven market. Organizational dispositions, both on company level and within professional societies are addressed. In the context of risk and knowledge management, the revised FIDIC/EFCA guide on quality management (ISO 9001:2015) is briefly presented. |
