RCFA (Root Cause Failure Analysis)
Root Cause Failure Analysis
Structured investigation of significant or recurring equipment failures to eliminate underlying causes.
Examples
- 01After the third gearbox failure in six months, an RCFA finds that the oil level sensor was installed too high and never warned of low oil.
- 02The weekly maintenance review lists all open RCFA cases on critical assets with the current status of actions.
- 03RCFA results are linked to the asset history and spare parts plan, so the same failure is prevented on similar machines.
