M405 – Root Cause Failure Analysis

Description

On-Site Only Repetitive failures cost “real” time and money and are not limited to physical / mechanical equipment breakdowns.  Administrative and procedural failures can also be found, analyzed, and eliminated through a “Root Cause Failure Analysis” program.  The intent of this 2-day course is provide the participant a thorough understanding of failure analysis.

Objectives

At the completion of this course the participant will be able to:
  1. Identify ‘chronic’ versus ‘sporadic’ failures.
  2. Describe the difference between physical root cause and latent root cause.
  3. Demonstrate the ability to develop, use, and interpret information on a logic tree.
  4. Determine which failures should be analyzed and which failures should be analyzied.
  5. Demonstrate the ability to determine how far to go with an analysis.
  6. Demonstrate the ability to develop and administer an analysis recommendation.

Topical Outline

  1. Overview: Reason or cause for analysis, Failure analysis methods
  2. Problems vs Opportunities
  3. Why Failure Analysis Works; Order, Determination, and Discoverability
  4. Which Failures Should be Analyzed; Chronic vs Sporadic, Chronic System Barriers, Identify Non-Value Added Work
  5. The Logic Tree: Use and Symbols
  6. Logic Tree “Top Box”; Developing and identifying the elements of the ‘top box’
  7. Working Down the Logic Tree: Using a disciplined approach through problem solving
  8. Where to Stop: Ideas of control and influence
  9. Implementing Recommendations: Involve others with implementation, Exercising leverage for implementation.
  10. Course Conclusion and Discussion
