What is Root Cause Analysis?

Root Cause Analysis is a systematic process used to identify the fundamental causes of failures, incidents, or recurring operational problems.

When should RCA be conducted?

RCA should be conducted after major equipment failures, process upsets, recurring issues, safety incidents, or production losses.

What methodologies are used in RCA?

Common Root Cause Analysis methods include 5 Whys, Fault Tree Analysis & Causal Learning.

What is the outcome of an RCA study?

The outcome is a clear understanding of the root causes, supported by corrective and preventive action plans.

Who should participate in RCA sessions?

RCA sessions should involve relevant stakeholders such as operations, maintenance, engineering, inspection, reliability, and asset integrity teams.

Can RCA help prevent repeat failures?

Yes. Root Cause Analysis helps identify why failures happen and what actions are required to reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

The PISB Approach

Your team works safer and more efficiently with manuals they can actually understand.

Finding The Real Cause Behind Failures

Root Cause Analysis is a structured investigation process used to identify the fundamental causes of equipment failures, process upsets, safety incidents, or recurring operational issues.

Instead of only fixing the visible problem, RCA helps organisations understand why the issue happened and what actions are needed to prevent it from happening again.

The Process

How Root Cause Analysis Works?

Pure Integrity gathers incident data, reconstructs the event timeline, validates key facts, and identifies immediate, contributing, and root causes.

From there, we develop corrective and preventive actions, validate findings with stakeholders, and support reporting, action tracking and lessons learned.

Problem We Solve

Recurring Failures

We help identify the true causes behind repeated equipment or process failures.

Unstructured Investigations

We provide a clear Root Cause Analysis methodology to guide investigations properly.

Limited Team Collaboration

We facilitate cross-functional discussions between operations, maintenance, engineering, and relevant stakeholders.

Quick Fix Culture

We help teams move beyond temporary fixes and focus on sustainable corrective actions.

Weak Corrective Action Tracking

We support action tracking to ensure RCA outcomes are properly implemented and reviewed.
