to some extent this is inevitable. people die, people quit, people take vacations, get pregnant, whtaever. the show goes on. you need succession plans.

admittedly management chronically forgets to include many hidden costs.

some of those errors are well documented by now (they tend not to include the cost of onboarding, familiarizing someone to the environment, whatever "duct taping" [graeber] that person does, knowledge taken when they leave)

i'm not sure where in all this really addresses the concept of iterative systems in an engineering sense. toyota is a famous case of such an iterative system: the plant convenes once a month to pick a metric to improve and a strategy to do it, and then re-convences later to see if the plant runs better or not.
