NASA Variances Database Reveals Outdated Regulations Hindering Safety Improvements
The project focused on building a database to manage safety variances and analyze their frequency. By using skills learned in database programming courses, the team created a system to track and organize variances efficiently. They noticed that some requirements were frequently bypassed, suggesting they could be adjusted to fit reality better. The team also made it easier to extract and analyze data by exporting it to user-friendly formats like Excel. This change helped to sort and search the information faster. Overall, the project demonstrated the usefulness of the database system in organizing and reviewing variance records effectively.
