Root Cause Analysis


Equipment failures can usually be traced back to a “root cause”, or initial fault that resulted in the eventual failure.

It is necessary to find the root cause to ensure that failure does not happen again.

Root cause analysis (RCA) requires experience in examining “normally worn” components as well as failed components to establish the non-normal wear. Careful inspection and documentation plus review of operating data is performed to determine the root cause and recommend improvements.
