Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne has world-class expertise in Systems Engineering. From designing and managing the Space Station Power System (100% uptime for 5 million + hours and counting) to determining the required redundancies to ensure 100% power uptime for an offshore oil rig, our proven skills and processes ensure a successful solution to your complex system needs. Whether designing a new system or "fixing" a broken one, we can help make your project a success.

Root Cause Failure Analysis / Failure Investigation

As they say, Rocket Science isn’t easy. To be successful in critical, "can't fail" programs, Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne has had to develop a thorough, world-class approach to Failure Investigation.

Our disciplined approach takes into account the system in which the failing component or functionality resides. We consider the entire system, and the “physics” of what may have contributed to a given failure. This approach has been used in nationally-visible incidents, and across industries including consumer products and offshore drilling and exploration. Our team works closely with your company to: gather relevant information; understand the pedigree of requirements, components and systems; assess intended use as well as possible “out-of-family” variations. We conduct aerospace-level analyses and can define failure replication test programs. Statistically rigorous correlations of causes and effects are generated routinely. Ultimately, our objective view and systems-based techniques provide a unique investigation outcome that can help your company improve product quality and reduce future failure rates.

Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne was one of the first 10 organizations worldwide to achieve CMMI Level V in all 4 Bodies of Knowledge. CMMI Level V recognizes with companies the highest level of process optimization, which means predictable, high quality results the first time - saving you time and money.
