IP 09 Preliminary counteraction
IP 09 Do it first/Preliminary counteraction [Principle of Preliminary counteraction]
Preliminary action to counter a damaging or stressful action or event, undertaken before the event.
Where objects are (likely) to be stressed, counter the stress in advance.
Where something is going to go wrong and will require a corrective action, do that action first.
Where damage is likely to occur, repair or correct the damage in advance.
Pretension bridge supports or reinforced concrete.
Proactive rather than reactive maintenance.
Negotiate peace or repatriation before war breaks out.
This is much stronger than the apparently very similar principle of preliminary action (IP 10) or the principle of beforehand compensation (IP 11) and can best be regarded as being similar to a preemptive strike in military terms. Here we aim to apply the bandage before the accident has happened. The counter action is something that we do not actually want to do, but knowing that we will have to do this action following an inevitable failure event (to counter or repair the failure), we are better prepared if we do the counter action first. Ideally counter actions will prevent the failure from happening in the first place.
