Example

A company president recognized that its personnel evaluation system was not effective at
motivating its employees, and charged the personnel department with improving it. As a
part of the initial analysis of the existing system, they use FTA to identify the different
ways that the evaluation system can fail and lead to demotivation (see the illustration).
Identified failure areas were investigated further, and the new system ased on a
correction of these failures. As a result, motivation increased significantly.
