Two expectations informed end-users have of electric motor service centers are reliable best practice repairs and root cause failure analysis (RCFA) to prevent recurring failures. Service centers ...

Failure analysis is the scientific process of determining the root cause of a failure. It is often related to equipment breakdown with varying levels of consequence, from loss of production, to ...

One of the biggest changes in the 2020 FCPA Resource Guide, 2nd edition, is the addition of a new Hallmark, entitled, Investigation, Analysis, and Remediation of Misconduct, which reads in full: The ...

Nothing is more frustrating for a fleet than bringing a truck back to a shop for a recurring problem. Given the cost of downtime, fleets expect repairs to be made correctly the first time. Yet, there ...

This is the final post in the Business Continuity Event Planning series. We close with a look at how to manage the process, how to improve response, recovery, and prevent recurrence of an event. In ...

Over 50% of frontend ASIC hardware engineering time is spent on debugging and root cause analysis, spent churning through millions of lines of code and terabytes of waveform data. Despite this, there ...

Each phase of a project has unique failure signature patterns. Just like the bathtub curve in Figure 2, we see more “failures” in the initial design, development and early production “ramp up” phase.

Due to the increased complexity in safety-critical system hardware, software, and mechatronics, the functional safety development process must address systematic and random hardware failures. Numerous ...
