Satellites with ESA as end customer and a prime contractor. This is a procurement approach where the agent receives the purchase orders for parts from various parts users, extracts and compiles the total need quantities per type and manufacturer, along with the necessary attrition (including DPA, LAT or QCI and radiation samples) and places the purchase orders at the corresponding manufacturers. Upon receipt of the flight parts by the CPPA, the ordered parts quantities will be tested as required and shipped to the individual users. The main features of the co-ordinated procurement are:

Failure analysis is the process of analysing the component data or the component itself to determine the reason(s) for degraded performance or catastrophic failure of a component either, during component manufacturing and testing, during incoming inspection, or after delivery to the customer, at the final application. Since there is an infinite number of variables in play at any one time, it is important as the first step in any failure analysis to understand how and when the failure occurred.
