    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_reporting...

    A failure reporting, analysis, and corrective action system (FRACAS) is a system, sometimes carried out using software, that provides a process for reporting, classifying, analyzing failures, and planning corrective actions in response to those failures.

  3. Causal analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causal_analysis

    Causal analysis is the field of experimental design and statistics pertaining to establishing cause and effect. [1] Typically it involves establishing four elements: correlation, sequence in time (that is, causes must occur before their proposed effect), a plausible physical or information-theoretical mechanism for an observed effect to follow from a possible cause, and eliminating the ...

    In other words, business intelligence focusses on description, while business analytics focusses on prediction and prescription. [1] Business analytics makes extensive use of analytical modeling and numerical analysis, including explanatory and predictive modeling, [2] and fact-based management to drive decision making.

  5. Root cause analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_cause_analysis

    In science and engineering, root cause analysis (RCA) is a method of problem solving used for identifying the root causes of faults or problems. [1] It is widely used in IT operations, manufacturing, telecommunications, industrial process control, accident analysis (e.g., in aviation, [2] rail transport, or nuclear plants), medical diagnosis, the healthcare industry (e.g., for epidemiology ...

    Causal analysis is the field of experimental design and statistical analysis pertaining to establishing cause and effect. [1] [2] Exploratory causal analysis (ECA), also known as data causality or causal discovery [3] is the use of statistical algorithms to infer associations in observed data sets that are potentially causal under strict assumptions.

  8. Failure analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_analysis

    Failure analysis is the process of collecting and analyzing data to determine the cause of a failure, often with the goal of determining corrective actions or liability. According to Bloch and Geitner, ”machinery failures reveal a reaction chain of cause and effect… usually a deficiency commonly referred to as the symptom…”. [ 1 ]

  9. Systems analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_analysis

    Systems analysis is "the process of studying a procedure or business to identify its goal and purposes and create systems and procedures that will efficiently achieve them". Another view sees systems analysis as a problem-solving technique that breaks a system down into its component pieces and analyses how well those parts work and interact to ...
