Implementing corrective actions from the Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) is one of the methods from the reliability integrity approach used to ensure that magnets can achieve reliability and availability goals. FRACAS achieves early feedback by monitoring magnets from assembly through operation, thereby saving time and reducing the number of items that may have a particular design or manufacturing process defect. This paper will discuss the FRACAS program as it has developed in the Magnet Systems Division of the Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory, the type of information FRACAS has accumulated on the magnets, and corrective actions implemented to help achieve the reliability and availability goals.
