Failure Analysis
When good parts go bad
It happens. Even well designed and maintained systems break down and components fail due to normal wear as they reach the end of their normal lifespan. Other times and all too often, however, failures occur due to poor system design, incorrectly specified or misapplied components, not operating equipment within design limits, or an overall failure to properly maintain a system to a degree that preserves normal functionality and reliability to the required level.
