Root Cause Analysis

A critical lean tool for Sustainable Problem Solving

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.


Why is RCA important?

Reduce rework and scrap

Eliminate Chronic quality issues

Improve process reliability

Enhance safety and compliance

Lower operational costs

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:

Our Approach to RCA Implementation

Problem Selection

Identifying problems based on major issues that result in high costs, low customer satisfaction, or any other area of priority.

Training

Training to team members on Problem solving methodology and root cause analysis for effective implementation of the same.

Data Stratification

Collecting facts from the workplace, identify patterns, trends, and variations and analyze data based on specific characteristics or factors to understand the problem.

Monitoring & Standardization

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.
