Basic Description
Failure Management is a structured problem-solving method used to identify the source causes of technical and non-technical faults and issues. In some cases this includes sending failed components out for analysis.
Maintenance Failure Management is a systematic approach that focuses on identifying, analyzing, and addressing the root causes of failures within an organization. It combines both technical and non-technical aspects to create a comprehensive strategy for mitigating recurrence and improving overall maintenance practices. Here’s an overview of its key components and processes:
Purpose
At its core, maintenance failure management is a structured problem-solving methodology aimed at:
- Identifying Root Causes: Investigating failures to uncover the underlying issues that led to the problem.
- Developing Mitigation Strategies: Creating actionable plans to prevent similar failures from occurring in the future.
- Implementing Mitigation Actions: Putting strategies into practice through changes in processes, training, or equipment upgrades.
