| learning from previous problems, failures |
past problems, failures are forgotten, hence mistakes are repeated |
| sound, integrated information systems |
poor, isolated information systems |
| extensive learning, training |
little learning, training |
| sound, proven corrosion control methods and ongoing efforts for optimizing
these |
