Asset Optima

Project FRACAS (Failure reporting, analysis, and corrective action system) is a web based, multi-user application that provides a process for reporting, classifying, analysing failures, and planning corrective actions in response to those failures. It is typically used in an industrial environment to collect data, record and analyse system failures.

Why FRACAS?

FRACAS process is to mitigate systematic and wear

FRACAS process is to mitigate systematic and wear-in failures and quickly achieve steady state performance through an accelerated Reliability growth. The FRACAS process is required to continuously provide feedback regarding any failures and defects and possible causes (that includes component failures, operational & maintenance errors) found during operational service. To make the reporting process clear & logical and ensure that there is a collective forum for all stakeholders to agree the most likely source of failure and hence investigation and corrective actions.

FRACAS Process

Steps implemented by Asset Optima are –

Failure data collection

All the failure in the system are collected in failure data register from the client failure database.

Failure data search for FRACAS defects being monitored

The failure modes for all the failures are identified and classified as hardware/software/system. All the systematic defects are identified according to the MTBF performance.

FRACAS defect identification from the failure data

The systematic defects with common failure modes are identified as FRACAS defects. In the FRACAS defect workshops, the owners of systematic defects are updated by the supplier.

Root cause Analysis of the FRACAS defect

In the root cause analysis workshops, the causes and sub cause of the FRACAS defects are identified using fish bone diagrams

Interface with OEM Change control process of the software and hardware

All the software defects are sent to OEM for software update. All the subsystem requiring hardware update are sent to OEM after root cause analysis.

FRACAS review board management

FRACAS review board minutes of meeting, meeting actions, actionee, due date and action status are managed in this form. For a given LRU type the failure performance is obtained graphically.

Corrective Action implementation

Corrective action is implemented for the FRACAS defects and all changes are recorded under change control process and recorded into asset register.

FRACAS
defect monitoring

All the FRACAS defects ,root causes are monitored for analyzation of any failure.

FRACAS review board authorisation of FRACAS defect closure

The defect are closed after authorisation by FRACAS review board
