Definition of failure analysis in English English dictionary
An investigation to determine the physics of the failure mechanism (Failure Analysis typically requires the use of laboratory or supplier facilities)
1) A formalized approach to determine the cause and nature of part failures and to recommend corrective actions 2) The organization that performs such work
the implementation task of determining the exact nature and location of a defect in order to: Debug (i e , fix) the defect, Identify and debug similar defects, and Initiate corrective action to prevent future occurrences of similar defects
Subsequent to failure, the logical systematic examination of an item, its construction, application, and documentation to identify the failure made and determine the failure mechanism and its basic course
The systematic examination of an item, which may include electrical, chemical, or metallurgical evaluation, to identify and analyze the modes, mechanisms, causes, and consequences of potential and real failures
(Kalite Kontrol) Procedure for detecting the common cause in a set of similar failures, by observing which malfunction symptoms appear immediately before or after a failure
(Ticaret) (FMEA) A bottomup process or function analysis that examines the effects and interaction of failures at the micro level that may combine to create failure in an end item
