Root Cause Analysis

Ripple Training
Training Provided by Ripple Training A Two-Day Workshop for Line or Staff Personnel Involved with Finding the Real Causes of Problems. Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is trying to understand why something went wrong. It identifies the basic source or origin of the problem so that recurrence of the problem may be prevented. RCA provides a methodology for investigating, categorising and eliminating root causes of incidents whether these are safety, quality, reliability or manufacturing process consequences. RCA allows us to explain the what, how and why of the undesirable event. It identifies the basic source or origin of the problem. Every undesirable event happens for a reason. There is a specific succession of events that led to that undesirable event. RCA follows the cause and effect path from the final failure back to its origin. RCA separates facts from hearsay. It does not follow a course of trial and error. When the facts are backed up by evidence and science, and are separated from the fiction, we now have a better understanding as to the real root causes of the problem. RCA has many applications. However, in industry its most common applications are in maintenance and safety. Many maintenance functions routinely apply RCA to address equipment breakdowns, but with the major focus of organisations on SHEQ RCA is an indispensable tool.
