The Motive Of Detection

There is a beautiful kingdom there lived a king who love to go to sea for exploring in his favourtie ship. The ship is made from complicated engine that power the ship to sail into the sea.

One day, the King found out his favourite ship is not working when he wanted to explore the sea. He is disappointed and he order his ministers to seek able man that can repair the ship.

The ministers look for the best engineer within the country. These engineers do lot testing to the ship and they could not able to find the solution to repair the ship. These testings took them several months. The engine defect can not detected.

Then one day, there come an very old man and seek the minster permission to inspect the ship. After inspection, he made a deal with the minister that he can repair it with a price and the minister agree to the price.

With a hammer, he went to a certain spot of the engine and he made a knot. Within minute, the ship engine start to maneuver. On seeing this, the minister felt cheated as the solution is so simple. He demand the old man to breakdown on his pricing.

As minster request, the old man submitted his breakdown for repairing the engine to the minister. The breakdown inside the list wrote, $1 for knotting and the rest of the cost is on know where to knot. We have found that solution is simple but not necessary easy. Most of the cost is found to be intangible where number is not easily assign to.

From this story, the wise old man is using his life experience that he gained during his working time to repair the engine. His knowledge or mastery that gained through involvement and exposure. It is the time to gain that knowledge is the main cost to this whole equation.

Other example may be found in a production or a manufacturing company. When machinery broke down, production ease to continue. If not repaired in time, this will lead to company loss of huge amount of money. Every second loss during this time without production will cause loss of revenue depending on how big is the company. Timing in this case is of paramount important.

The story and example indicate that time come with learn experience do not have a fixed number assigned on them. This is a intangible cost subjected to situation it apply on. For a big company that produce million of revenue, tens of thousands for repair will be a very affordable price to have it done compare to lose of production during the loss period of time.

Correct detection the first time will eliminate time loss and extra work done during the day leakage was discovered to the day it repair and the day the leakage stop. Without correct detection, repair work based on testing and guessing will cost more compare to the correct detection.

The cost of not having the correct solution will lead to time lost as extra repair jobs will need to be carried out to eliminate the leakage. This will incur additional cost to the rectification work.
