Who really needs a FRACAS application?
The closed loop process called FRACAS is the only way a company can make improvements on the product. The techniques can vary from one process to the next. The concept is the same, to collect data, analyze it and embed changes in the process. As the product goes through its life cycle the cost for implementing design changes gets higher. The earlier the flaws are found the lower the cost for improvement is. This means that it is every manufacturing company’s interest to hold such a process. There are organizations that need FRACAS as part of a quality standard they need to follow or because a requirement of a government agency.
