Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) for Engineers

This course provides in-depth techniques and structured approaches to identify the root causes of equipment and system failures. It equips engineers with the tools to investigate incidents and implement effective corrective actions.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Apply systematic root cause analysis methodologies (5 Whys, Fishbone, FMEA).
• Identify failure modes and their contributing factors.
• Analyze data and evidence to trace the root cause.
• Develop and implement sustainable corrective actions.
• Improve reliability and reduce repeat failures through lessons learned.

1. Principles and Benefits of Root Cause Analysis
2. Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
3. Investigation Techniques and Evidence Gathering
4. Root Cause Identification Tools (Ishikawa, 5 Whys, Fault Tree)
5. Corrective Action Planning and Case Studies

Maintenance and reliability engineers, technical managers, and plant supervisors responsible for asset performance and failure prevention.

Case studies, group investigations, RCA tools application workshops, and field data analysis.

Participants will be equipped to lead structured failure investigations and implement effective long-term solutions.
