Developing a framework for selecting accident and critical
failure analysis techniques based on system complexity

Abstract
Root cause analysis techniques has been used widely in different industries to analyses accident
and critical failures. Most of the techniques applied by practitioners has a cause and effect
approach. By increasing complexity in industrial systems, new systematic approaches has been
developed to model the interactions of component in a complex system. Many of these
techniques are unknown for industrial practitioners. In this paper, a brief summary of system
theories approaches in the area of accident analysis is presented and their differences with
traditional cause and effect techniques are investigated. In addition, to implement the right
analysis technique, Cynefin framework is used to classify different maintenance and Root Cause
Analysis strategies based on system behavior.
