ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS TOOL (E-RCA)

Optimize Your Equipment Performance with EDAP E-RCA

E-RCA tool has an RCA Rapid process to visualise problems and establish a viable solution to root causes or contributing issues.

In many organisations, we tend to focus on the symptoms that can give us grief. The "Root Cause" is the primary reason something occurred; if this cause was eliminated, a problem could not escalate into a breakdown. So often, we focus on improving the symptoms without addressing the root causes that are still present, which can continue to cause problems until they are identified and effective solutions are in place. This way, organisations can foster a culture of accountability, transparency, and learning to drive improvements.


What is Root Cause Analysis?

RCA (Root Cause Analysis) is a simple approach to drill past the symptom of a problem and find the root causes. It is just about asking why-why to identify solutions to a problem.

E-RCA - 5 steps approach

  • Clearly define the problem: What is happening? What should happen? One plant, One process, One problem?
  • Assess the impact: Production impact, costs, unacceptable risks and measures.
  • Build a cause: Branches on the cause flow from causes to effect, identify root causes or contributing factors.
  • Select and implement an effective solution: Select cause to fix, assign actions, get resources and execute actions.
  • Communicate and check the change is working: Foster a culture and learn from the solutions.
