Heck, the US had this problem when they needed to renew/refurbish nuclear weapons due to more or less 'forgetting' how to make Fogbank.

FOGBANK was a little more complicated. The process that was written down just didn't work as expected. That was partially lost institutional knowledge that had never been recorded, but the original manufacturing just didn't understand their process. The process had contaminants improving the final product that they were unaware of. When the process was restarted, that didn't happen until it was investigated.
