PROACT™ Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Methods were developed by Reliability Center Inc. to help companies in solving complex problems.  These methods are very intuitive, focused, and take advantage of team’s synergy to effectively:

• Classify problems/opportunities according to business impact  -  Opportunity Analysis (OA)
• Uncover physical, human and systemic root causes – PROACT RCA
• Develop and implement effective solutions – Implementation PLAN

These methods are ideally suited to solve Equipment and Process problems, but they can be applied to any problem.

Opportunity Analysis (OA)

The objective of the Opportunity Analysis is to clearly identify 20% of the repetitive problems that typically represent 80% of the company’s losses.  These problems are generally considered good candidates for RCA.  This analysis is generally carried out by 2 or 3 people and consists of:

• Defining the area of concern
• Developing a process flow diagram of the defined area
• Identifying main failure modes (actual, not potential)
• Determining business impact of each failure mode
• Determining difficulty/cost of eliminating each failure mode
• Setting priorities for failure mode elimination

PROACT™ RCA

The objective of PROACT RCA is to uncover the root causes of any repetitive or sporadic problem.  Our methodology follows the cause-and-effect trail from the failure back to its root causes; it is carried out by a team of 5-7 people and consists of:

• Selecting the analysis team
• Writing a concise definition of the problem
• Collecting data (position, people, parts, paper and paradigms – the 5 Ps)
• Identifying the historical failure modes and their correlation to maintenance interventions and operational parameters
• Analyzing the problem using a logic tree; this includes developing hypotheses and their verification.  Most findings in an analysis lead to further data collection, more hypotheses and more verification.  This loop is repeated many times until actionable root causes are uncovered
• Recommending actions to eliminate the root causes

The outcome of these analyses generally include: changes in maintenance and operating procedures, upgrades in PM and PdM programs and/or equipment/process modifications.  These improvements provide exceptionally high Return-On-Investment.
