The value of failure analyses lie in their ability to identify corrective actions based on a 
determination of the root cause of the failure. These corrective actions, when properly implemented, will minimize future failures of the same type. The failure analysis is, thus, a tool that can be used to reduce maintenance costs, increase system availability, and reduce the potential losses involved in catastrophic failures. Potential savings will vary on a case by case basis. Instances in which savings of RM 1,000,000 or more have been achieved are common. Failure analyses can also be used to identify the party at fault. Financial losses resulting from a failure can often be recovered when deficiencies in design, workmanship or materials can be identified as the root cause of the failure.
