Designed for professionals across industries, it empowers you to identify and resolve root causes systematically, preventing recurring issues and driving continuous improvement.

What You'll Learn:

•  RCA Frameworks: Understand structured methodologies for tackling complex problems, such as the Fishbone Diagram, 5 Whys, and FMEA, each tailored to uncover underlying causes in different contexts.
•  RCA Tools: Learn to leverage practical tools like the Scatter Diagram, Pareto Analysis, and Bowtie Diagram to visually analyze data, prioritize issues, and identify correlations.
•  Best Practices: Gain insights into proven techniques that ensure thorough, unbiased analysis and actionable solutions, avoiding common pitfalls and enhancing the reliability of your results.

Why RCA Matters:

Root Cause Analysis is essential for driving efficiency, safety, and customer satisfaction by addressing problems at their core. By preventing recurring issues, RCA fosters long-term improvement and supports informed decision-making. Its applicability spans various industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, IT, and more.

How the Deck Is Organized:

•  Frameworks: A deep dive into structured methodologies for systematic problem-solving.
•  Tools: Practical instruments to aid in identifying and addressing root causes.
•  Applications: Real-world examples showcasing the application of frameworks and tools in diverse scenarios.

This presentation equips you with the knowledge and tools to perform effective RCA, ensuring better problem-solving, decision-making, and continuous operational improvement across your organization.

CONTENTS

1. Fishbone Diagram
•  A visual tool that identifies potential causes of a problem by categorizing them into major cause categories, resembling the bones of a fish.

2. 5 Whys Analysis
•  A problem-solving technique that repeatedly asks "Why?" to drill down into the root cause of a problem.

3. Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)
•  A top-down, deductive analysis method used to identify the root cause of a failure by tracing backward from the top event to underlying causes.

4. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
•  A systematic method for evaluating the potential failure modes of a process and their impact, helping prioritize risks and prevent failure.

5. Root Cause Tree Diagram
•  A hierarchical tool that visually breaks down a problem into its root causes and the corrective actions required to resolve it.

6. Current Reality Tree (CRT)
•  A causal diagram that helps identify the root causes of a problem by linking them to their current impacts and guiding toward solution identification.

7. Bowtie Diagram
•  A risk management tool that visualizes the relationship between causes, the top event, and consequences, with barriers to prevent or mitigate risks.

8. Kepner-Tregoe Problem Analysis (KTPA)
•  A structured problem-solving approach that uses a step-by-step process to analyze and resolve problems by identifying causes, testing hypotheses, and implementing solutions.

9. Pareto Analysis
•  A decision-making tool based on the 80/20 rule, which focuses on the most significant causes of a problem by identifying the few that contribute the most to the issue.

10. Scatter Diagram
•  A graphical tool used to show the relationship between two variables, helping identify correlations that could indicate root causes of problems.
