What is FRACAS?

The Failure Reporting Analysis and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) can be used to collect, record and analyze system failures. The failures are reviewed and corrective actions identified and verified. This powerful process can be used to greatly improve the through-life reliability of the target system.

A major problem for many organizations stems from the fact that similar failures occur on many sites and are recorded by many individuals in many different ways. The use of a FRACAS system will solve this, as well as produce an accurate and accessible failure and corrective action history.

What's in FRACAS+?

Isograph have developed the FRACAS+ tool to compliment its current reliability, availability and maintainability analysis software suite. Its user-friendly environment is based around inputting the relevant information into data sheets to greatly simplify data manipulation.

The recording of equipment or system failure is broken down by site and functional location in a hierarchical structure that can be easily understood (see below). Beneath this the equipment hierarchy tree can be constructed to any level of complexity.
