Definition of Failure
When a part or device can no longer perform its intended function, the part has failed.

14. Recommendations
* Should lead to prevention of future failures.* Should lead to product improvements.* Do not rush to change material or process
specifications without complete analysis of possible interaction with other parts of the system.
