Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a systematic process used to identify the underlying causes (not one cause) of a problem or event. It involves investigating the factors that contributed to the occurrence of an issue, with the goal of preventing its recurrence and implementing effective solutions.
By systematically investigating issues such as defects, downtime, or process inefficiencies, RCA enables teams to implement long-term corrective actions rather than temporary fixes. RCA is commonly used for sporadic and less complex chronic losses.
With extensive experience in Lean methodologies, we specialize in training organizations to effectively implement Root Cause Analysis (RCA) as a powerful problem-solving tool. Our tailored programs equip your teams to identify and eliminate the underlying causes of recurring issues—reducing downtime, improving product quality, and enhancing overall operational efficiency.
By embedding RCA into your daily processes, we help create a culture of continuous improvement that drives long-term value and sustainable performance across your manufacturing operations.
Pareto analysis: First step of Root cause analysis is to identify the most impactful issues contributing to the problem using pareto analysis. Focus is to identify top contributors for targeted improvement efforts. Key steps of doing pareto analysis includes:
Clients
RCA projects conducted
People trained on RCA
Defects & failure reduction
Breakdown reduction
Identifying problems based on major issues that result in high costs, low customer satisfaction, or any other area of priority.
Training to team members on Problem solving methodology and root cause analysis for effective implementation of the same.
Collecting facts from the workplace, identify patterns, trends, and variations and analyze data based on specific characteristics or factors to understand the problem.
Implementing a systematic approach of Pareto Analysis – Cause & Effect Diagram – Validation of Causes – Why Why Analysis – Identification of Improvement Actions.
Monitoring results for a minimum of 3 months to take corrective actions for any deviations from targets. Setting standard processes and procedures to sustain improvements.
Real improvement begins when we stop treating symptoms and start addressing problems at their source—with thoughtful, lasting solutions. Root Cause Analysis is a universal approach that can be applied to any problem, big or small.
