2 What RCA is NOT... A search for a Single Root Cause Root Cause!) A search for a Quick Fix! A search for who is to BLAME! (THE 2
3 What is EFFECTIVE RCA? A robust/objective analysis any problem in any discipline. An evidence based process. A search for effective/sustainable solutions. A process that is applicable both to negative and positive events. A business improvement tool. 3
4 Things you will hear after an incident Root Cause: Employee Failed to read the instructions Employee was not paying attention Employee didn t follow procedure Associated Solutions: Stress the need for Employees to read instructions Communicated importance being alert at all times Retrain on procedure How Effective are these Solutions?? 4
5 A Different Approach is Needed Seek alternatives to the tired, old solutions: Retrain, Reinforce, Re-communicate People will always make mistakes The Key is to understand WHY the mistake was made and address deeper seeded causes. Understand their thought process at the time. We also need to look for and document the causes in the work processes, tools, environment, systems and culture. 5
6 Root Cause Analysis- A closer look Root cause resolution What does that mean to you? Root Cause is heard frequently Government News media Executives..What root cause are they normally focused on? Fault? Blame? Human error? Effective Problem Solving moves beyond blame and punishment Finger pointing becomes a thing of the past Understand the cause and effect relationships for the problem Can t rely on common sense Proactive 6

11 RCA Process Sologic s 5 Steps 1 Gather and Manage Data 2 Create the Problem Statement 3 Analyze Cause and Effect 4 Generate Solutions 5 Produce the Final Report 11
12 Step 1: Gather and Manage Data D A T A Gathered from the incident, large amount, value unknown INFORMATION Relevant evidence & causes KNOWLEDGE Individual solutions WISDOM! Systemic solutions Source: Ackoff, R L From Data to Wisdom. Journal of Applied Systems Analysis 12
13 Importance of Evidence Evidence validates (or invalidates) causes Supports conclusions Reliable evidence: Eliminates personal bias, speculation, hidden agendas and politics Leads to more accurate interpretation of the problem and causes Leads to more effective solutions 13
14 Root Cause Analysis- 5 Steps 1 Gather and Manage Data 2 Create the Problem Statement 3 Analyze Cause and Effect 4 Generate Solutions 5 Produce the Final Report 14
15 Problem Statement Improvements Focal Point is now the link between the Problem Statement and Cause & Effect Chart Better describes the teams choice of a starting point Impact is qualitative and quantitative impact on the goals and objectives of the Organisation. Actual and Potential Impact are both addressed Potential impact is often just as important to capture, if not more Potential impact can create link for formal risk assessment 15
16 Sologic Problem Statement Focal Point: 100 out-of-spec units shipped to client When: Received by customer; April 1, 2011 (after first run on new CNC mill) Where: Part 154; Rec d by customer Y, produced at supplier Z on mill M-104 Impact: Actual Potential Actual $ Safety: None Greater safety risk due overtime to rework parts. Quality: Revenue: Cost: Actual Total: 100 units outside of spec width limits. Next NCR results in supplier downgrade = 40% more inspection required. 10% concession on contract price Rework costs Expedited shipping Investigation costs Could have missed the entire production run of 1,000 shipments. Could lose entire contract, potential to bid on future contracts. $100,000 Potential costs could have been much higher. Frequency: First quality escape by supplier Z with customer Y $67,000 $2,000 $3,000 $172,000 Focal Point: 100 OOS units shipped to customer 16
17 Step 2: Problem Statement Focal Point: The focus of the investigation, a.k.a. the problem When: Date: The date (or date range) of the problem Time: The time and duration of the problem Unique: Any unique timing aspects of the problem Where: Facility: Start broadly, such as with Facility System: Narrow down to a specific location or process Component: Pinpoint the exact location of the problem. Unique: Any unique location aspects of the problem Impact: Safety: What was the safety impact of the problem? Environmental: What was the environmental impact of the problem? Revenue: What was the impact on money flowing INTO the organization? Frequency: Cost: What was the impact on money flowing OUT of the organization? Other? How many times has the problem occurred? This is a value multiplier Modify as needed this section is flexible. Different problems will experience different impacts. Copyright Copyright Sologic, Lyncsolve LLC.

18 Root Cause Analysis- 5 Steps 1 Gather and Manage Data 2 Create the Problem Statement 3 Analyze Cause and Effect 4 Generate Solutions 5 Produce the Final Report 18
19 Step 3: Analyze Cause & Effect There is always more than 1 cause for everything Transitory Cause Changes! Effect Caused By < AND > Non- Transitory Causes Conditions at the time of change 19
20 Cause Types Cause Type Transitory: Non-transitory: Changes Energy transfers Change in state/status External force applied Operation performed Trigger/Catalyst/Decision point Often the last cause to present Objects Description Tangible: Hardware/Systems, Environment Intangible: Goals, standards, procedures, rules, laws, training, specifications Properties/Attributes Status Construction materials, design intent, color, other attributes Quantity Velocity Position/location relative to other objects 20
21 Transitory & Non-Transitory Transitory Upset container Transitory causes represent a point of change. In this case, the water was not spilled until the container was upset. This represents a change from contained water to spilled water. Focal Point Spilled water Non-Transitory Water in container Non-Transitory Open-top container Non-Transitory causes are the players in an event. In this case, the water in the container represents a status of the container (and the water) at the time of the event. The status of a cause is more likely to change over time. The cause open-top container is a non-transitory property of the container. Properties are generally stable and resist change. 21
22 Simplified Causal Logic The Sologic process builds charts by asking the following questions: Question 1: What causes this effect? Builds the analysis horizontally Starts in the present and works towards the past Question 2: Every time this cause occurs, does it always result in this effect? Builds the analysis vertically Identifies combinations of causes Functions via logical and/or relationships 22
23 Question 1: What caused this effect? Focal Point Lost productivity Transitory Transitory Transitory Transitory Exchange server outage Server lost power Water leaked into data center Toilet leak above data center How does this compare to a timeline? 23
24 Question 2: Every time this cause occurs, does it always result in this effect? Non-Transitory Server requires power source Non-Transitory Data center not waterproof Focal Point Lost productivity Transitory Transitory Transitory Transitory Exchange server outage Server lost power Water leaked into data center Toilet leak above data center Non-Transitory 24 hour availability requirement Non-Transitory Water contact opens breaker 24
25 Sources of Cause People Procedures Hardware Environment People Strengths in one area compensate for weakness in others Environment Procedures Hardware 25
26 Root Cause Analysis- 5 Steps 1 Gather and Manage Data 2 Create the Problem Statement 3 Analyze Cause and Effect 4 Generate Solutions 5 Produce the Final Report 26
27 How do Solutions work? By changing, eliminating or controlling causes! When causes are eliminated, you break the causal chain When you break the causal chain, you are eliminating precursor events 27
28 Example: Solutions Non-Transitory Server requires power source Non-Transitory Data center not waterproof Focal Point Lost productivity Transitory Transitory Transitory Transitory Exchange server outage Server lost power Water leaked into data center Toilet leaked above data center Non-Transitory Non-Transitory 24 hour availability requirement Water contact opens breaker 28
29 Example: Solutions Non-Transitory Server requires power source Non-Transitory Data center not waterproof Focal Point Lost productivity Transitory Transitory Transitory Transitory Exchange server outage Server lost power Water leaked into data center Toilet leaked above data center Non-Transitory 24 hour availability requirement Install back-up power supply (UPS) Non-Transitory Water contact opens breaker 29
30 Example: Solutions Non-Transitory Server requires power source Seal data center, update specification requirements, examine other data centers for similar failure modes Non-Transitory Data center not waterproof Focal Point Lost productivity Transitory Transitory Transitory Transitory Exchange server outage Server lost power Water leaked into data center Toilet leaked above data center Non-Transitory Non-Transitory 24 hour availability requirement Water contact opens breaker 30
31 What is a good Solution? Effective Eliminates the problem Breaks the causal chain Is there solid evidence to support? Easy to Implement + Return on Investment Avoids potential negative impacts 31
