Root Cause Analysis
You arrive at work 45 minutes late because of a flat(investigate what? Why flat or why late to work).
Tire has nail in side wall (tire dealer: covered road hazard orfoul play?) Neighbors had nails in sidewalls too (Police: who is it?)Teenage prankster caught (parents: why did our child do this?)

What is Root Cause Analysis
Find the Root Cause(s) of events or mishaps Find at least one cause that can be acted upon such thatit meets our goals and objectives and is within ourcontrolPurpose: prevent future events

Step 1: Problem Definition
What is the problem?When did it happen?Where did it happen?What is the significance?
NO Who dont place blame(blame = avoidance and silence)
Gano
Work backward chronologically from event
Work forward chronologically to clarify (Paradies)

Identify undesirable outcomes
Real speedingPotential serious injury due to speedingCan be multiple undesirable outcomes:
Accident leads to damaged carAccident leads to passenger injury

Step 2: Search for causes
Find at least one cause that can be acted upon such that it meetsour goals and objectives and is within our control
Ignition source
Combustible material
Oxygen
Fire

Cause and effect are same thing

Cause and effect are same thing
Toyota says ask why 5 timesIf continuum why not more?
Keep going until your answer to why is:I dont know (ignorance point marked with ?) I dont care (it fell because of gravity. Why is there
gravity? I dont care)

Create a causal tree
For each effect ask why?Look for conditions and actions
Connect all causes with caused by
Support causes with evidenceSensed (1 st hand experienced)Inferred (circumstantial, gauge readings, etc.Intuition (inadequate effort
Emotional (how people felt about what happened)Ask whys using depth first searchReturn to square 1 and start again

Create a causal tree
Find out:What happened
What usually happensWhat policies require to happen
* Look for:Human error
Procedural violationsMechanical failuresOther possible causes

Test the strength of causal links
Direct causes A directly causes B every time
Probabilistic A increases the likelihood of B
CorrelationWhen A happens B seems to also happen
Basis for causation uncertain

Language of human errors
Omissions: failed to do something requiredMistake: wrong intent, executed as planned
Slip: right intent, execution not as plannedLapse: similar to slip

Blame -free sounds good, but what aboutintentional actions. Marx suggests a Just Culture

All unanticipated mechanical failures must have aprevious cause:
Designed in errorManufacturing defectMis-maintainedMis-operated

Removing non-causal data
Failure to act is causal only if there is a pre-existing dutyto act.
Otherwise it maybe a prevention strategy
A lack of guard rails in the tunnel where Princess Dicrashed is often cited as a cause of her death, but French
government had no pre-existing duty to install guard rails.

Report Preparation
Cause and effect relationships must be clearDont overstate, understate, or emotionalize report. It may
show up in court.Negative descriptors may not be used
poorly, inadequate, unsafe, unreliable, andcomplacency among many others

Eliminate possible biases:Fundamental attribution error: lazy, aggressive,jealous, happy Us-them biasSeverity effect (large outcomes require large causes)Temporal & spatial continuity (guilt by association)
