This edition expands the scope of RCA, taking a holistic approach that includes recent perspectives, opportunity analysis, RCA’s fit with current initiatives such as -
Total Quality Management (TQM) and Six Sigma. Practical Tools Yield Real Results There is no easy answer to the question, “What is RCA?” Some will give a general idea of what Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is designed to accomplish, while others will advocate a specific approach. In this third edition of the best-selling Root Cause Analysis: Improving Performance for Bottom-Line Results, acclaimed experts Robert and Kenneth Latino offer a broad look at the various types of approaches to RCA, comparing their pros and cons while supplying practical tools for implementing or improving current RCA initiatives.


In addition to a broader perspective, the book presents updated and expanded material including: a chapter devoted to problem-solving/brainstorming;
methodology versus software; using the PROACT® approach
complimented by the PROACT® Enterprise Version 3.0+ software; discussion of the various conflicting definitions of common terms used in RCA; and a focus on measuring ROI.

Emphasizing the organizational support necessary for successful RCA efforts, Root Cause Analysis: Improving Performance for Bottom-Line Results, Third Edition demystifies the concepts involved in effective RCA and presents hands-on guidance for program enactment.
