Failure Analysis - A systematic process to diagnose the root cause of failures in products or components, ensuring their reliability and longevity. Failure Analysis identifies why and how failures occur, leading to defects, reduced service life, and loss of functionality. By addressing these issues, failure analysis helps prevent future failures and enhances overall product quality.
