👉 Mess engineering refers to the process of managing and mitigating the unintended consequences or "mess" that can arise from complex engineering systems, particularly in industrial and technological contexts. It involves identifying potential sources of unpredictability, inefficiency, or failure within these systems and implementing strategies to minimize their impact. This can include designing robust control mechanisms, incorporating redundancy, conducting thorough risk assessments, and employing adaptive management practices to ensure system reliability and performance. By proactively addressing these issues, mess engineering aims to enhance the overall efficiency, safety, and sustainability of engineered systems.
