Root Cause Analysis is a structured approach to fault analysis. It starts from the incident and thoroughly goes through all possible causes and reasons. Root Cause Analysis ensures that no cause however minor is left out and that all reasons are identified and properly documented. This ensures that the incident does not recur.
Engineers and Managers trained in Root Cause Analysis will be able to systematically follow up on any abnormality or deviation and prevent serious accidents or failures. This increases safety and reliability of operation.
