What is FRACAS? Is it the same as a CAR? I have been asked to write a procedure and I have no ideal what to write anyone have an example I can look at? :confused: :thanks:

A procedure on how to fight loudly? :lmao:

Just kidding - I don't know what the acronym is.

I think it is the end result after turning to run from an exploding grenade. But Randy would know better than me.

LOL - I think that would be flakass. :lmao:

Failure Reporting and Corrective Action System (Think I got that right)

I am most familiar with it from Reliability & Maintainability and maintenance stuff. I went through Ford R&M - not sure if it is just a Ford term or not.

It is basically a corrective action for a equipment failure.

Failure Reporting, Analysis & Corrective Action System

That's from the acronym finder website:
http://www.acronymfinder.com/ (another great thing the people here have taught me!)

Failure Reporting and Corrective Action System? I vaguely remember hearing of this before as a CAR-type system for capturing and addressing field failures. Maybe with missile systems? :confused:

That was good Brit. :applause:

I'm not sure what is funnier your definition of FRACAS or FLAKASS. But the first thing I thought of for FRACAS was, come over to my house about the time I am getting home, there is always a FRACAS over who gets to tell mom what the other brother did that he wasn't supposed to do.:biglaugh:

FRACAS is part of our ASQ CRE Body of Knowledge.
I have attached a link below to getter better ideas on FRACAS.

IT is a form of corrective action system imposed upon my company by Lockheed. Any help would be appricated.

Thanks, :bonk:

Thanks, :bonk:FRACAS is a closed loop system for corrective action used by military contractors. I've attached MIL Handbook 2155, which replaced MIL-STD-2155. It explains the FRACAS system.

This link will also provide additional information

Thanks for the input. I think the MIl-hanbook will help, I wonder if I could just add a snip-it in my CAR porcedure?

:thanx:

It's me again, I'm still having problems with the FRACAS procedure. The sites provided was for software"Marketing" and provided no real input. The mil-handbook reads like it's a corrective action process. The FRACAS requirement is being pushed by the customer a "Aerospace OEM". I'm at a lost. :confused: :mad:

Mil-Std-785

FRACAS is a corrective action process; = Failure Reporting Analysis, and Corrective Action System. It's just the term used in the reliability field, following steps very similar to an 8D, e.g. recording failure data, analyzing data (root cause analysis), recommending corrective actions, implementing them, and following up to ensure permanence.

If you already have a corrective action process, you should be fine.

p.s. Sorry, I didn't realize until after I posted and did a search that this topic was just discussed several days ago.

Thanks for the info our CAR process is based on the 8D corrective action report. Can I add wording to our procedure stating that the FRACAS follows the same process as our CAR system? :thanx:
