ROOT CAUSE FAILURE ANALYSIS (RCFA)

Course Introduction

The world-leading companies don’t accept things going wrong. They proactively focus and stopping problems from entering their business. They set control mechanisms and checkpoints in place to spot and stop the defects that turn into future failures. They learn from their problems and proactively act to prevent them. If your operation is having equipment and production problems you need to discover what they do and how to do it too!
Many companies train their key people on Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA). It starts life with a rush and then dies from insufficient time and resources. RCFA is a powerful concept to be used all the time. As an enabling tool for solving problems it is best used continuously ‘on the shop floor’. It is reserved for major failures to be used by engineers then its use wills die-off quickly.
This course explains the RCFA methodology and how it is used. You will see why failures occur and the mechanisms inherent in every organization that lead to them. In particular a great amount of time is used in understanding and practicing RCFA so that you are comfortable to use it. The course has a hands-on, practical focus intended to help Attendees understand maintenance failure causes, and how they are found and removed.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES 

  • Think through the possibilities of physical root causes of a failure that go beyond a quick fix.
  • Recognize the presence of a chain of events leading to the failure and analyze causes behind the causes
  • Verify or disprove contributing causes
  • Identify actions or recommendations that will avoid a repetition of the failure or problem investigated
  • Create a fault tree of an incident
  • Look for relevant evidence in a failure investigation or accident
  • Trace and identify the causes of equipment failures and industrial accidents
