A Data Reduction and Failure Correction System (COFEC)

The COFEC system (Cause of Failure, Effect, and Corrective Action) provides an efficient means for reliability data reduction and presentation in a manner suitable for executive action. An appropriate information storage and retrieval system accepts a large quantity of data and provides periodic reports which delineate those areas most worthy of attention in efforts toward the improvement of future system reliability. Sample forms indicate the nature of the periodic readout. In addition, relevant data may be made available on short notice, as specific points of interest develop. This reliability data system has already demonstrated its value to weapon systems management.
