I'd like to suggest a little different methodology. Instead of looking at reports of what failed, why not get reports about what's going to fail. VEXTEC Corporation, recently named as the Most Promising Company in America by Forbes, has developed Virtual Life Management, a predictive analysis technology that accurately and efficiently simulates the performance, durability and failure of any component or system, from a single part to an entire fleet -- even before they're built. I invite you to learn more about our capabilities at www.vextec.com.

You know identifying the potential for a Functional Failure before they occur is great but most people do not think like this. Their brain is programmed to focus on a total functional failure (typically the equipment fails). Software would be great but I believe we must start with education of the senior leadership staff at the site and at corporate. I am working a large oil and gas company right now where we are designing a program to identify a partial functional failure which has not impacted production however it will if left alone. We have established triggers for an RCA on this equipment with identified potential losses defined up front if no action is taken.
