A supervisor modifies a machine interlock with tape during a rush order and never enters the change in the log. What control-change expectation was violated?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Tape is not a change-control system. If you alter a safeguard, write it down, get it approved, and make sure the “temporary” fix does not become invisible forever. Deliberate tracking beats silent improvisation.
Full Explanation
Controls that are altered without documentation create unrecognized residual risk and hide defects from audits and future operators. Organizations should require intentional review, authorization, and logging of control modifications—even temporary ones—so bypasses are time-bounded, risk-assessed, and restored or redesigned properly.
