This case study will follow a specific incident from identification to final resolution. Detailed requirements, construction reports and photographs will be given to document the failure. A careful analysis of parameters prior to the failure will be described, as well as an on-site inspection of the vendor's production facility to ultimately locate the root cause. Final resolution of the problem will include procurement and qualification specification revision to ensure failure does not recur. The approach should provide broad insight into any engineering investigation, and hopefully into failure prevention.
