Need for Dialogue

It will be apparent from this chapter that problem formulation for a probabilistic assessment can be a substantial undertaking, and perhaps the most difficult and 

It is important to note that if generic problem formulations are to be used, it is especially important that they are developed very carefully in the first place, that their domains of applicability are carefully defined, and that users should doublecheck on every occasion that they are fully appropriate to the case in hand or adjust them as necessary.

CCMC crankcase lubricant sequence development was quite different from the US tripartite system because the EU motor industry developed plans privately, unrestricted by consensus with the lubricant industry. In response and anticipating the need for dialogue with CCMC, the Technical Committee of Petroleum Additive Manufacturers, ATC, was formed in 1974. Equally, a lubricant marketers organisation, Association Technique de I lndustrie Europeene des Lubrifiants, ATIEL, was formed in 1976 for discussion with CCMC, then ACEA. 

In the case of the interface with finance there is a similar need for dialogue the finance function needs to understand the sequence of work packages within engineering and the resulting timing of the demand on funds, and engineering needs to understand and accommodate the realities of attracting investment.
