Sologic employ a 5 Step process to conduct a high-quality RCA investigation.Īn RCA investigation should be based on facts – making sure the RCA is evidence-based helps ensure accuracy.

If these are clearly documented and shared an organisation can learn from past failures and prevent future problems.ĥ Step Sologic Root Cause Analysis Method High quality cause and effect analysis adds a deeper understanding, leading to targeted and more effective solutions.

Once collected in full we can define the problem and record its impacts.

To do this successfully we must gather and manage the available evidence. When an incident occurs it’s important that it is understood in a logical, objective and critical manner. These investigations may be recorded as individual reports or form part of a formal company-wide RCA Program.

The Root Cause Analysis method or ‘RCA’ as it is often abbreviated to, is a widely used technique that helps people get beyond the symptoms of a problem and reveal the, often hidden, and multiple root causes. A scenario we often refer to as “fire-fighting”. By understanding these we can move beyond the symptoms and address the root causes at source.įor many of us, when there is a problem at work, it is difficult to get beyond immediate symptoms, meaning that the underlying causes have not been dealt with and will need fixing time and time again. RCA is built on the principle that causal relationships exist for all events. The aim of RCA is to identify, understand and solve the deeper ‘root causes’ of problems. Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a structured problem solving method. Used throughout every major industrial and business sector, Sologic Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is an evidence-based, problem-solving method based on Cause & Effect logic.
