Use & Relationship

The Failure Summary and Analysis Report presents a summary of the individual failures that occur prior to and during the reporting period and describes the analysis and corrective actions performed. This report is used to evaluate the contractor's failure reporting, analysis, and corrective action efforts in accordance with the solicitation.

This Data Item Description (DID) contains the format, content, and intended use information for the data deliverable resulting from the work task described in the contract.

Preparation Instructions

1Reference Documents.None

2Format.The Failure Summary and Analysis Report shall be in contractor's format.

3Content.The report shall summarize the results of the contractor's Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) implementation required by the statement of work, and shall include a cumulative tabulation of failure data. Failures that occurred during the latest report period shall be identified by suitable notation. The report shall include the following elements at a minimum:

3.1Failure number

3.2Failure analysis number

3.3Failure date

3.4Name of engineer responsible for failure analysis

3.5Failed part name

3.6Failed part number (e.g. national stock number (NSN), logistics control number, work unit code)

3.7Manufacturer of failed part

3.8Subassembly name and number

3.9Major assembly name and number

3.10Equipment name and serial number

3.11Failed part's accumulated test or field operational life data

3.12Test or mission being performed when the failure occurred

3.13Test or mission mode of operation and environmental and use conditions when the failure occurred

3.14Failure symptoms and description of detection or diagnosis methods (e.g. Built In Test)

3.15Failure effects (e.g. none, degradation, abort)

3.16Repair action (e.g. remove/replace)

3.17Failure mode description

3.18Description of engineering analysis method employed in failure analysis

3.19Failure mechanism/cause of failure

3.20Contributing factors, including multiple factor interactions, or secondary effects of the failure

3.21Categorization of failure (e.g. equipment design, equipment manufacturing workmanship, part design, part manufacturing workmanship, software errors, unverified, intermittent, non-relevant)

3.22Information on previous corrective actions for the same part or failure mode. Corrective action required to mitigate the failure mode, including:

3.22.1Identification of the failure mode

3.22.2The recommended process or process control changes, when the failure cause was due to workmanship defects

3.22.3Proposals for retrofit of all equipment already delivered or assembled, including recommended effectivity, in accordance with the contract

3.22.4Disposition of all defective material and material rendered obsolete because of any necessary redesign, to assure their exclusion from production items

3.22.5Identification of previous functional and environmental qualification tests, if any, invalidated by the corrective action changes and a recommendation of those tests that should be repeated, in accordance with the terms of the contract, to demonstrate the corrective action's effectiveness

3.22.6Effect on operational and diagnostic software programs and plan for changes, if necessary

3.23Corrective action status

3.24The recommended fix effectiveness factor (FEF) to be applied to the failure mode based on the proposed corrective action

3.25Rationale for any open failure analyses past the contract-specified closeout time

3.26Severity criticality ranking of the failure modes. The severity classification categories are:

3.26.1Category I - Catastrophic - A failure which may cause death or system loss (i.e., aircraft, tank, missile, ship)

3.26.2Category II - Critical - A failure which may cause severe injury, major property damage, or major system damage resulting in mission loss.

3.26.3Category III - Marginal - A failure that may cause minor injury, minor property damage, or minor system damage which will result in delay or loss of availability or mission degradation.

3.26.4Category IV - Minor - A failure not serious enough to cause injury, property or system damage, but which results in unscheduled maintenance or repair.
