OPS.11:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-patternFailureRepair
Call every connected diagram a flow network.Different structures and descriptions are collapsed.Apply A.22/E.18/E.18.NET only to the object that meets the corresponding conditions.
Optimize material production while ignoring transaction prerequisites.Product can accumulate without an admissible shipment.Recover the actual goods-issue and shared-resource coupling.
Use evidence from the wrong configuration.A completed test does not support the current release claim.Bind the result to the exact subject and conditions.
Turn missing information into a negative world claim.Lack of evidence is mistaken for evidence of absence.Return the exact unresolved basis and its consequence for use.
Treat a coordinated diagram as permission.The relevant decision-maker may not have authorized the action.Obtain or return the required decision explicitly.
Map the enterprise before answering a small question.Modeling effort displaces the useful operating result.Select only relations that can reverse the current choice.
