ECO.7:1 - Problem frame

Use this pattern when several parties depend on a resource whose useful condition is undermined by their separate uses or by insufficient contribution to its upkeep. Start with the resource condition that matters and the actions which change it. Construct feasible rules for use, renewal and adaptation with the participants who can make them effective.

A machine already allocated by one responsible operator under adequate rules can stay with ordinary OPS methods. The added difficulty here is coordinating the different claims, contributions and effects that those rules have not resolved.
