The 7 Most Important Secrets of Successful Root Cause Analysis

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- System Improvements Inc. is pleased to share the 7 Secrets of Successful Root Cause Analysis, to spread the news about its effective, thorough, and credible root cause analysis training through TapRooT®, and to extend an invitation to the 2021 Global TapRooT® Summit in Knoxville, Tennessee, June 14-18.

In the 7 Most Important Secrets of Successful Root Cause Analysis, the first tip shared is a key foundation for reliable root cause analysis:

1. Your root cause analysis is only as good as the information you collect. Many root cause systems operate as a "standalone" module. Information goes in and an answer comes out, without helping investigators collect accurate information. Some root cause tools actually develop a hypothesis first, then assimilate information to verify or disprove the hypothesis. Extensive research has proven that once an investigator becomes invested in a particular hypothesis, her/his brain automatically looks for "facts" to confirm the hypothesis and disregards "facts" that are counter to the hypothesis, resulting in the investigator finding what she/he wants to find.

2. Your knowledge (or lack of it) can get in the way of a good root cause analysis.

3. Understand what happened before why it happened. Beginning by asking "Why" is jumping to conclusions. This often leads the investigator to presume, rather than seeking to understand.

4. Interviews are not about asking questions.

5. All human performance problems cannot be solved with discipline, training, and procedures.

6. Many people cannot see effective corrective actions even if they can find the root causes.

7. All investigations do not need to be created equal (but some investigation steps cannot be skipped).
