Windchill FRACAS

PTC Windchill FRACAS (formerly Relex FRACAS)

Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) software allows organizations to establish a clear, systematic way to address errors or incidents that occur within a product or system, develop and manage a plan of action to correct them, and ensure that these processes have a positive effect on future performance. By implementing a closed-loop corrective action process, organizations can track, analyze and correct problems found during development, testing and operation, with the goal of improving the reliability and quality of target products. PTC Windchill FRACAS software also allows organizations to identify trends related to failures and help prioritize the top issues to be addressed.

Process efficiency. The strength of Windchill FRACAS resides in its extra features built in to make your processes more efficient. Workflow capabilities allow you to define your specific process flow and control when notifications are sent to appropriate personnel. Supplied and ad hoc queries enable you to quickly see snapshots of your data any way you choose. Alerts (watchdog) provide a proactive data query to identify and notify personnel of defined conditions. Windchill FRACAS allows you to spot trends early, prioritize issues or problems, and ensure individuals or groups are notified of progress.
