| Provides a survey of root cause failure
analysis techniques, objectives, tools and suggestions for implementation.
The book includes a Technical Failure
Analysis Checklist and a discussion and logic diagram for determination of when
to concentrate on non-technical or "programmatic" aspects of root cause of
machinery failures.
Analysis tools and techniques covered
include:
-
Basic Problem Solving
-
Barrier Analysis
-
Cause and Effect Analysis
-
Cause Tree Analysis
-
Change Analysis
-
Fault Diagramming
-
Fault Tree Analysis
-
Peer Reviews
-
Personnel Performance Analysis
-
Programmatic Root Cause Analysis
-
Reliability Analysis
-
Systematic Approach to Repetitive
Failures
-
Technical Analysis
-
Interviews
-
Other Information Gathering
Tools
The
techniques described in this book are adaptable to a wide variety of problems
and situations. The value of the approach to a successful root cause
analysis and implementation of findings is that when completed, the likelihood
of continuation of problems from that failure on that equipment become quite
small.
Root cause failure analysis has an important place in modern maintenance
programs in that it provides practitioners with the ability to eliminate
preventable causes of decreased machinery reliability affecting production
and profits. |
