Does your Organization Have an Effective Failure Reporting Process?

Does your company have a process used  to control or eliminate failures. 

Does your organization use a CMMS/EAM or a specialized Reliability Software to identify, eliminate, mitigate or control failures?

Does your organization use failure reports which include cost variance, Mean Time Between Failure, Mean Time Between Repair, dominant failure patterns in your operation, common threads between failures such as “lack of lubrication” due to lubricator not using known industry standards?

What does your organization use to control failures? and why?
