How can failure analysis improve your company's performance?
Failures, whether they occur in the final product or during the manufacturing process, can reduce efficiency, create safety issues and substantially increase manufacturing costs. By identifying a failure and taking the time to analyze the failure mechanisms and determine the root cause of failure, a company can take proactive steps.
A proactive approach to analyzing a failure will improve the product, reduce potential liability levels for safety related failures and improve overall efficiency. Determining the root cause of failures and manufacturing defects can drive down costs by reducing the total number of components produced, by potentially increasing utilization capacity and by providing a satisfied customer who will be more inclined to purchase more of the product in the future.
RSI Materials Engineering has extensive experience in analyzing failures, identifying failure mechanisms and determining the root cause of the failure. We can evaluate both mechanical applications and material utilization. RSIME is available day or night to provide you with the Engineering, Metallurgical and Scientific support that your company requires.
