Root Cause Failure Analysis
Do we need Root Cause Failure Analysis?
What is it?
Do you have major equipment or system problems that you just can’t tolerate any longer? These are obvious targets for Root Cause Analysis.
Or maybe you have had a production or operations hiccups that have been ignored for a while. Chances are those are no longer “just hiccups.”
Those little problems snowball into big ones. Chronic problems in your operations often create a lot of downtime and disruption that can go unnoticed. Unlike major failures, they do their harm gradually. It’s as if you were injured and didn’t go to the doctor, but now the pain is too much to tolerate. Let us help with Root Cause Failure Analysis, and get to the bottom of your problems.
Root cause failure analysis gives you the full picture behind the problems see in operations and production. The old “tip of the iceberg” analogy applies: You can’t know much about the ice under the surface by just looking at the tip that is above the waterline. Using our expertise from over 40 years in the reliability industry, Conscious Asset will use our proprietary analysis to identify:
- What is the problem?
- Why did it happen?
- What can be done to prevent it from happening again?
Root Cause (Failure) Analysis
There are several methods available to use – some are more complex than others, some have software tools that are helpful, some have software tools that over-complicate things. We prefer to keep our analyses simple, resorting to the complex methods only if the simple methods have failed.
Most problems we’ve encountered can be resolved with a quick analysis involving participation of just a few key players from your team.
Root Cause Analysis is built into our RCM-R methodology and used to add precision to RCM-R analyses. Used there it is very helpful in developing whole reliability and maintenance programs.
When used on its own, Root Cause Analysis, tackles single known problems and resolves them. It enhances your existing reliability program as an excellent tool for Continuous Improvement.
Do you have big problems that have defied solution?
Do you have smaller problems that happen often and accumulate into a bigger problem for your business?
