Failure analysis is the scientific process of determining the root cause of a failure. It is often related to equipment breakdown with varying levels of consequence, from loss of production, to ...

Two expectations informed end-users have of electric motor service centers are reliable best practice repairs and root cause failure analysis (RCFA) to prevent recurring failures. Service centers ...

ICs developed at advanced technology nodes of 65 nm and below exhibit an increased sensitivity to small manufacturing variations. New design-specific and feature-sensitive failure mechanisms are on ...

In this interview, AZoM talks to Dr James Woods, Senior Research Scientist at Jordi Labs, about product failure analysis, and how to determine its root cause. Product failure can occur whenever the ...

Nothing is more frustrating for a fleet than bringing a truck back to a shop for a recurring problem. Given the cost of downtime, fleets expect repairs to be made correctly the first time. Yet, there ...

Over 50% of frontend ASIC hardware engineering time is spent on debugging and root cause analysis, spent churning through millions of lines of code and terabytes of waveform data. Despite this, there ...

The 2023 ECCP re-emphasized the need for both performing a root cause analysis but equally importantly using it to remediate your compliance program. It stated, “a hallmark of a compliance program ...

As semiconductor devices become smaller and more complex, the product development lifecycle grows increasingly intricate. So, from early builds to pre-qualification testing, firmware development and ...

Hydropower is among the most mature and reliable renewable energy technologies, but its dependability rests on thousands of tonnes of rotating equipment humming quietly for decades. Generators are at ...

At one stage or another, all projects are subject to risks and being able to isolate problems can be tricky. Knowing how to conduct a root cause analysis can help your teams get to the source of each ...
