Streamlined Reliability
Customisable FRACAS software for effective failure management
Gone are the days of inflexible failure reporting systems or error-prone spreadsheets. Relyence FRACAS offers engineers a practical, easy-to-use platform for managing failures from report to resolution. Its browser-based design means you can access and share data across teams without IT overhead, while the customisation options puts you in control — create your own fields, field dependencies and sub tables to capture all your data including images and attachments. Custom workflows and notifications allow you to manage the whole process and these can be made specific to your incident type, if required.
Whether you’re dealing with aerospace flight systems, automotive components, or medical devices, Relyence FRACAS adapts to your processes. By integrating seamlessly with other Relyence modules, it ensures failure data contributes directly to improving design, safety, and performance.
Managing failures effectively is critical in high-reliability industries. Relyence FRACAS is designed to streamline this process, giving engineering teams a flexible, user-friendly system to capture incidents, analyse root causes, and implement corrective actions. Unlike rigid or spreadsheet-driven approaches, Relyence FRACAS adapts to your processes — whether you follow 8D, DMAIC, PDCA, or your own methodology. With no coding required, you can configure fields, workflows, and reporting to match your needs, while integrations with FMEA, Reliability Prediction, and Weibull ensure organisation-wide reliability insight.

Relyence FRACAS key features
In addition to platform-wide capabilities, each Relyence module offers unique features developed for its specific analysis method. These specialist tools ensure engineers have the right functionality at the right time, helping achieve reliable, audit-ready results with less effort.
Relyence FRACAS offers users the following benefits...
Failure Direct Connect
Relyence Failure Direct Connect: Bridging FRACAS and FMEA for Continuous Improvement
Relyence Failure Direct Connect seamlessly integrates your DFMEAs, PFMEAs & FMECAs with your FRACAS data, providing valuable insights into the failure mechanism. By linking real-world failure data directly to your FMEA, Relyence closes the loop between your warranty returns and future design iterations.
One standout feature is the ability for users to suggest FMEA updates directly from FRACAS entries. This ensures that new issues are promptly incorporated into your FMEA, keeping your analysis current and comprehensive. The result? Enhanced collaboration, faster response times, and a powerful feedback loop that drives ongoing product reliability improvements.
Relyence FRACAS Core Features
As part of the fully integrated Relyence platform, the FRACAS module benefits from a wide range of shared features. These cross-module capabilities allow engineers to save time, avoid duplication, and ensure analyses remain accurate and consistent across projects. Many of the features most valued by our customers are built-in here — visit the features section for the full breakdown.
Analysis Tree
The Analysis Tree, positioned between the Relyence Sidebar and main analysis area, provides a clear, hierarchical breakdown of your system, product, or process. While optional, it’s highly recommended for organising your analysis effectively.
As you select items in the Analysis Tree, the data displays the relevant filtered information, keeping your focus on the specific subsystem or section you’re working on. This intuitive filtering helps streamline data management across your Relyence modules, including FMEA, FRACAS, Reliability Prediction, RCM, and Maintainability Prediction.
Audit Trail
Relyence’s Audit Trail feature tracks all modifications to your data, including additions, edits, and deletions, along with who made the changes and when.
In the example shown, the Audit Trail for a Design FMEA shows detailed records of changes made to failure cause data—listing each update, who made it, previous values, and timestamps in descending order. For a comprehensive view, you can also export a full Audit Report, filtering by date and module for concise tracking.
Customisable Dashboards & Drill‑down Reporting
Relyence Dashboards provide a comprehensive, customisable overview of your product or system by gathering and organising key data. Users can create unlimited, personalised Dashboards based on set permissions.Using the Dashboard Editor, add widgets such as charts, tables, and graphs for high-level visual insights—many with drill-down features that lead directly to detailed analysis files, highlighting specific data for in-depth review.

Relyence FRACAS Methodology
FRACAS (Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System) is a structured approach to handling product and process failures. It begins with capturing failure incidents, whether they occur in design, manufacturing, testing, or service. Each failure record is logged with supporting detail so trends and recurring issues can be identified.
The analysis stage focuses on understanding root causes — often using frameworks like 8D (Eight Disciplines Problem Solving), DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control), or PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act). By standardising the way problems are examined, FRACAS ensures investigations are thorough, consistent, and traceable.
Corrective actions are then assigned, tracked, and verified. Relyence FRACAS manages this process end-to-end, automatically notifying team members, applying your chosen workflow, and recording results. Over time, the data becomes a valuable knowledge base, highlighting systemic issues and providing evidence of compliance with industry and safety standards. The result is continuous improvement: fewer failures, safer products, and greater customer confidence.
