Bad data in field services is costing companies significantly, often due to bureaucratic processes that prevent frontline workers from reporting issues. For example, a technician on an offshore rig knew about a tool vulnerability for months but couldn't report it through the company's cumbersome process. This silence led to a catastrophic tool failure costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Companies like Toyota, however, have successfully embedded feedback mechanisms directly into workflows, empowering workers to identify and report problems instantly, which improves both quality and reliability.
