What Is Root Cause Analysis? |
|
Answer» Root cause analysis was initially developed to ANALYZE industrial ACCIDENTS, but is now widely used in other areas. It is basically a technique of problem solving used for isolating the root causes of FAULTS or problems. A factor is called a root cause if its deduction from the problem-fault-sequence averts the final undesirable EVENT from reoccurring.
