What product support analysis tool is used to examine each failure to determine and classify its effect on the entire acquisition system?

The product support analysis tool commonly used to examine and classify failures in acquisition systems is the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). FMEA systematically identifies potential failure modes, assesses their impact on system performance, and prioritizes them based on severity, occurrence, and detection. This tool helps in understanding how each failure affects the overall system, facilitating risk management and informed decision-making in product support and design improvements.
