Determining the Root
Cause of a Problem
Approved for Public Release
2Determining Root Cause 2
Why Determine Root Cause?
• Prevent problems from recurring
• Reduce possible injury to personnel
• Reduce rework and scrap
• Increase competitiveness
• Promote happy customers and stockholders
• Ultimately, reduce cost and save money
Approved for Public Release
3Determining Root Cause 3
Look Beyond the Obvious
• Invariably, the root cause of a
problem is not the initial reaction
or response.
• It is not just restating the Finding
Approved for Public Release
4Determining Root Cause 4
Often the Stated Root Cause
is the Quick, but Incorrect Answer
For example, a normal response is:
•Equipment Failure
•Human Error
Initial response is usually the symptom, not
the root cause of the problem. This is why
Root Cause Analysis is a very useful and
productive tool.
Approved for Public Release
5Determining Root Cause 5
Most Times Root Cause
Turns Out to be Much More
Such as:
• Process or program failure
• System or organization failure
• Poorly written work instructions
• Lack of training
Approved for Public Release
6Determining Root Cause 6
What is Root Cause Analysis?
Root Cause Analysis is an in-depth
process or technique for identifying the
most basic factor(s) underlying a
variation in performance (problem).
• Focus is on systems and processes
• Focus is not on individuals
Approved for Public Release
7Determining Root Cause 7
When Should Root Cause
Analysis be Performed?
• Significant or consequential events
• Repetitive human errors are occurring
during a specific process
• Repetitive equipment failures associated
with a specific process
• Performance is generally below desired
standard
• May be SCAR or CPAR (NGNN) driven
• Repetitive VIRs
Approved for Public Release
8Determining Root Cause 8
How to Determine the Real
Root Cause?
• Assign the task to a person (team if necessary)
knowledgeable of the systems and processes involved
• Define the problem
• Collect and analyze facts and data
• Develop theories and possible causes - there may be
multiple causes that are interrelated
• Systematically reduce the possible theories and possible
causes using the facts
Approved for Public Release
9Determining Root Cause 9
How to Determine the Real
Root Cause? (continued)
• Develop possible solutions
• Define and implement an action plan (e.g., improve
communication, revise processes or procedures or work
instructions, perform additional training, etc.)
• Monitor and assess results of the action plan for
appropriateness and effectiveness
• Repeat analysis if problem persists- if it persists, did we
get to the root cause?
Approved for Public Release
10Determining Root Cause 10
Useful Tools For
Determining Root Cause are:
• The “5 Whys”
• Pareto Analysis (Vital Few, Trivial Many)
• Brainstorming
• Flow Charts / Process Mapping
• Cause and Effect Diagram
• Tree Diagram
• Benchmarking (after Root Cause is found)
Some tools are more complex than others
Approved for Public Release
11Determining Root Cause 11
Example of Five Whys for Root
Cause Analysis
Problem - Flat Tire
• Why? Nails on garage floor
• Why? Box of nails on shelf split open
• Why? Box got wet
• Why? Rain thru hole in garage roof
• Why? Roof shingles are missing

Bench Marking
Benchmarking: What is it?
• "... benchmarking ...[is] ...'the process of identifying, understanding, and
adapting outstanding practices and processes from organizations
anywhere in the world to help your organization improve its
performance.'"
—American Productivity & Quality Center
• "... benchmarking ...[is]... an on-going outreach activity; the goal of the
outreach is identification of best operating practices that, when
implemented, produce superior performance."
—Bogan and English, Benchmarking for Best Practices
• Benchmark refers to a measure of best practice performance.
Benchmarking refers to the search for the best practices that yields the
benchmark performance, with emphasis on how you can apply the
process to achieve superior results.
Approved for Public Release
18Determining Root Cause 18
Bench Marking
All process improvement efforts require a sound
methodology and implementation, and benchmarking
is no different. You need to:
• Identify benchmarking partners
• Select a benchmarking approach
• Gather information (research, surveys, benchmarking
visits)
• Distill the learning
• Select ideas to implement
• Pilot
• Implement
Approved for Public Release
19Determining Root Cause 19
Common Errors of Root Cause
• Looking for a single cause- often 2 or 3
which contribute and may be interacting
• Ending analysis at a symptomatic cause
• Assigning as the cause of the problem the
“why” event that preceded the real cause
Approved for Public Release
20Determining Root Cause 20
Successful application of the
analysis and determination of
the Root Cause should result
in elimination of the problem

  • 4. 4Determining Root Cause 4 Often the Stated Root Cause is the Quick, but Incorrect Answer For example, a normal response is: •Equipment Failure •Human Error Initial response is usually the symptom, not the root cause of the problem. This is why Root Cause Analysis is a very useful and productive tool. Approved for Public Release

  • 6. 6Determining Root Cause 6 What is Root Cause Analysis? Root Cause Analysis is an in-depth process or technique for identifying the most basic factor(s) underlying a variation in performance (problem). • Focus is on systems and processes • Focus is not on individuals Approved for Public Release
  • 7. 7Determining Root Cause 7 When Should Root Cause Analysis be Performed? • Significant or consequential events • Repetitive human errors are occurring during a specific process • Repetitive equipment failures associated with a specific process • Performance is generally below desired standard • May be SCAR or CPAR (NGNN) driven • Repetitive VIRs Approved for Public Release
  • 8. 8Determining Root Cause 8 How to Determine the Real Root Cause? • Assign the task to a person (team if necessary) knowledgeable of the systems and processes involved • Define the problem • Collect and analyze facts and data • Develop theories and possible causes - there may be multiple causes that are interrelated • Systematically reduce the possible theories and possible causes using the facts Approved for Public Release
  • 9. 9Determining Root Cause 9 How to Determine the Real Root Cause? (continued) • Develop possible solutions • Define and implement an action plan (e.g., improve communication, revise processes or procedures or work instructions, perform additional training, etc.) • Monitor and assess results of the action plan for appropriateness and effectiveness • Repeat analysis if problem persists- if it persists, did we get to the root cause?
