A Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) provides a process by which failures

can be reported in a timely manner and analyzed so that a corrective action system can be put in place and
eliminate or mitigate the recurrence of a failure. The goal of FRACAS is to help you better understand failures and
the reporting required to eliminate or control the failures that are killing reliability in most organizations.
