Service Description

Failure and criticality analysis is an engineering discipline focused on determining the root causes of failures in industrial equipment and systems, as well as assessing the criticality of components to prioritize maintenance resources.

Using advanced methodologies such as FMEA, FMEA, RCA, RCA, FTA, and other tools, we help organizations systematically investigate failures, identify vulnerabilities, and develop solutions that prevent their recurrence, improving operational reliability and reducing downtime and associated costs.
