RCA and RCFA Investigations Training

About Achieving Effective Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Training

and Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) Investigations

If we don’t tackle the root causes, failures and incidents will continue to occur. For an effective Reliability Improvement Programme, a robust Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) is one of the most critical elements. Often equipment fails but the true root causes are usually attributed to human actions or errors.

The Achieving Effective Root Cause Analysis RCA Training and RCFA Investigations workshop will introduce delegates to a 6 step structured approach to determine the what, why and the fix. There are many additional techniques to support the investigation phase; the principle of these additional techniques is to be able to look at the incident from a different perspective to allow addition questioning. Many delegates admit to conducting RCA but skimp the data gathering/investigation part.

Included in the Achieving Effective RCA Training and RCFA Investigations workshop is the 7 human performance cause categories, the 7 basic equipment failure cause categories and highlight the process of failure analysis.

In addition, we apply the RCA training technique for downtime and repair time reduction studies and to audit work processes, e.g. the work planning & control process.
