Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

What is it?
A problem-solving methodology that focuses on addressing the underlying issue rather than applying quick fixes that only treat the immediate symptoms of the problem. A common approach is to ask "why" five times, each time moving one step closer to uncovering the true root cause.

 

How can I help?
Help ensure a problem is truly solved by applying corrective action to the root cause of the problem.
