Exploring the Roots of Failures through RCA (Root Cause Analysis)

The Interest Note explores the concept of Root Cause Analysis (RCA) as a process to identify the fundamental cause of a failure in equipment, emphasizing that a failure implies the inability of the equipment to fulfill its original purpose. It is underscored that the consequences of these failures can be significant, affecting assets, people, or the environment. The scope of RCA has expanded beyond physical issues, encompassing areas such as corporate culture, quality management, occupational safety, project management, and medicine. The complexity of RCA will be addressed, emphasizing the need to identify events and conditions leading to failures. The importance of understanding failure modes and involved factors is highlighted for implementing preventive and corrective measures.
