Using Fault Trees to Conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA)


podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson


What is a root cause' of failure? It is something that you did (or didn't) do that ultimately resulted in failure. It's not corrosion (that's a physical process that follows the laws of nature that you can't change). It's not a porous seal that allows moisture to enter your product to cause corrosion (that's a defect or fault that you or your team made happen). Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is the process where we systematically work out what things we did or didn't do that allowed failure to occur, and Fault Trees are often very helpful in finding this root causes. If you want to learn more about RCA or how fault trees can help RCA, join us for this webinar.


This Accendo Reliability webinar was originally broadcast on 27 August 2024.

Fundamentals of FRACAS


This webinar introduces you to the basic elements of FRACAS. Plus, we examine a few failed programs so that you can avoid problems.














Fundamentals of Root Cause Analysis


Let's discuss when you have sufficient understanding of a failure mechanism to implement a solution and a few common obstacles to avoid.














Essential Reliability Engineering Concepts


Let's discuss the concept of failures along with a few other concepts universal to reliability engineering.














Preventing Moisture and Corrosion Damage


The goal is to educate the audience on options to prevent electronic equipment failure used in enclosed spaces from corrosion.














What is Fatigue?


Fatigue is interesting in that it allows something to fail without it ever being exposed to stresses that are beyond its strength.














So What is the Root Cause?


This webinar takes you through a framework to explore the understand the root cause of a failure, something we can do something about.














Focus on Failure Mechanisms


Let's explore the many ways something can fail and how understanding failure mechanisms makes a difference.














Using Fault Trees to Conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA)


Discover the power of root cause analysis with fault trees. Uncover the hidden causes of failure and improve your reliability process.














Fundamentals of Early Field Results


Let's explore the concept of a delta phase and how to implement it in your organization. Plus, how to implement it in various product types.
