Reliability Process
FRACAS
Create a traceable process for reporting, analysing and resolving failures.
Purpose & Benefit
When This Activity Helps
Use when failures occur across test, production and field operation without a consistent route to closure. FRACAS helps teams retain evidence, assign actions and check whether corrections are effective.
Project Information
Typical Inputs
The scope is tailored to the available evidence. Useful inputs include:
- Existing failure records and reporting processes
- Product configurations and exposure data
- Responsibilities and corrective-action workflow
Engineering Approach
How SPACEREL Supports Your Project
SPACEREL defines failure recording, classification, investigation and closure criteria. Failure evidence is connected to corrective actions, verification and lessons learned, with trend review and configuration traceability built into the process.
Documented Outcomes
Typical Deliverables
Deliverables are agreed before work starts and can include:
- FRACAS process and reporting structure
- Failure classification and closure criteria
- Trend-review and corrective-action recommendations
