Fault management

Okay kiddo, let's talk about fault management. Imagine you have a favorite toy car that you play with every day. But one day, you notice that the toy car is not moving properly and there might be something wrong with it. This is called a fault. Fault management is like fixing the problem with your toy car.

Just like your toy car, big machines and computer systems also have faults sometimes. Fault management is the process of finding those faults and fixing them so that the machine or system can work properly again. It is important because if faults are not fixed, they might cause bigger problems in the future.

To manage faults, people use special software or tools that can detect when something is wrong. The software or tools will tell the people what the problem is and where it happened. Then, the people will work to fix that problem so that the machine or system can continue working properly.

Also, some machines and computer systems have something called redundancy. This means there are extra parts or components that can take over if one part fails. It's like having a backup toy car in case your favorite one stops working.

In short, fault management helps people find and fix problems in machines and computer systems so that they can keep running properly. It's like fixing your toy car when it stops working.
