Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA)

Introduction

RCFA training, Root Cause Failure Analysis training provides the concepts needed to effectively perform industrial troubleshooting investigations. RCFA Training covers the methodology to perform Root Cause Failure Analysis, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), and other hot topics currently in maintenance engineering.
RCFA Training also includes detailed design and troubleshooting guidelines, investigating techniques for system failures, which are needed to perform problems found in most production facilities. Root cause failure analysis helps you to identify what, how and why something happened, thus preventing recurrence. Root causes can be controlled by management and allow for generation of recommendations.
Root Cause Failure Analysis is a powerful tool you can uses to focus on the source of the equipment failure to prevent future failures.
