Root Cause Analysis Routine
The analysis lives in the same place as the problem. Ishikawa, 5 Whys and evidence stay attached to the deviation, and the corrective action comes out of the analysis already with an owner and a deadline.
I want to structure my analysesIndicators generated
- 01Recurrence by root cause
- 02Mean analysis lead time
- 03Effectiveness of corrective actions
Every indicator comes from the record made at the workstation — no manual consolidation, no intermediate spreadsheet.
What the routine does
- Guided analysis methods by type of occurrence
- Direct link between deviation, cause and action
- Library of recurring causes by asset
- Recurrence indicator after the action
Who uses it
- Quality technician — leads the analysis
- Maintenance — contributes the asset failure
- Engineering — validates effectiveness
