The London Ambulance fiasco - Ian Sommerville.
We worked with London Ambulance Service on a project which implemented 200 new frontline rosters across 70 ambulance stations, releasing an additional 3,414 people hours. Read our full case study to learn more about the challenges London Ambulance Service faced and how we used insight and scheduling software to implement highly effective demand-led crewing patterns.
Then we discuss one particular well-known case — that of the London ambulance service computer-aided despatch system (L ascad) project — and use it as a particularly cogent example of the features of information systems failure. We maintain that the tendency to analyse information systems failure solely from a technological standpoint is limiting, that the nature of information systems.
Three software case studies have been used to set the stage for the paper. They are: the Patriot Missile System failure in the Gulf War in 1991, the London Ambulance Service software system failure in 1992, and the Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey crash in 2000. Each case study covers a.

The 1992 failure of the London Ambulance Service's Computer Aided Despatch (LASCAD) system is well-known. This research suggests that it was not only a failure in a technical or methodological sense but that it was a case of administrative evil.
