RCFA (Root Cause Failure Analysis) is the process of investigating how an equipment failure, process problem, quality problem, safety incident, environmental incident, and many other problems in a plant happened. RCFA is also commonly referred to as Root Cause Analysis or RCA. IDCON is convinced...
Using compressor impellers as an example, this chapter demonstrates a simple, yet powerful approach to failure analysis. It illustrates that all machinery failure causes fit in one or two of only seven cause categories and that all component failures are attributable to one of only four possible ...
Root Cause Analysis Example Let’s look at types of root causes that might help clarify examples of why human error can mask the real root cause of a deviation. Suppose, for example, you have a second shift manufacturing operator who continually forgets to sign the batch record for a specifi...
A root cause analysis (RCA) involves finding the root causes of a problem in order to identify and implement solutions. RCA treats the underlying causes of a problem instead of the surface-level symptoms of the problem itself. For example, if your company is suffering from a low retention ...
●Failure Analysis in Engineering and Maintenance ●Change Management or Continuous Improvement Activities ●Computer Systems or Software Analysis The point is that RCA can be applied to almost any type of problem that companies face every day. Another example where RCA could be used is for a compa...

1. The analysis is required to prevent the recurrence of the failure. 分析是为了防止问题的再发。 2. To find out the root cause and we can easily take preventive action against that. 找到了根因,那我们就能轻而易举地采取防止问题的措施。
For example, the criteria might be that a Root Cause Analysis is automatically performed when an asset fails more than two times in a 12-month period. The criteria can also be less restrictive, allowing an area manager or reliability engineer to initiate a Root Cause analysis even if a ...
This example RCA looks at the negative public impact due to opioid addiction. As with other Sologic examples of “big” problems, we need to disclose that the primary purpose for choosing a problem of this magnitude is to demonstrate how to complete a root cause analysis on a large problem...
