Minuteman Monthly Failure Summaries - MAY, 1963

Abstract

The failure data from each area are first tabulated to show the numbers of discrete failure events at the Figure A equipment level to provide quick visibility regarding trend as well as a breakdown of the data with respect to types and causes of failures. Back-up pages are then provided to describe each reported failure event reflected in the tabulations. These descriptions are also intended to relate the number of specific Figure A components replaced to restore the Figure A to satisfactory operating condition. The failures classified as Primary Failure Events are related to equipment unreliability and are subject to corrective action by means of design changes. Hardware failures caused by faulty instructions or personnel errors are classified as ''controllable'' since they can be controlled by management actions. In total, all of the failure data pertinent to replaceable-level components are useful for logistics purposes.
