Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action Taken

. Handbook, Mil-Std-2155(AS). Department of Defense, (December 1995)

Abstract

A disciplined and aggressive closed loop Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) is considered an essential element in the early and sustained achievement of the reliability and maintainability potential inherent in military systems, equipment, and associated software. The essence of a closed loop FRACAS is that failures and faults of both hardware and software are formally reported, analysis is performed to the extent that the failure cause is understood, and positive corrective actions are identified, implemented, and verified to prevent further recurrence of the failure.
