What is root cause analysis?

By definition, root cause analysis is the process of finding the underlying cause for an effect we observe or experience. In the context of failure analysis, RCA is used to find the root cause of frequent machine malfunctions or a significant machine breakdown.

The RCA process does not guarantee an outcome

Conducting root cause analysis can be very complicated. It involves a vast amount of data collection and review. The result of a root cause analysis isn’t always black and white. It can’t always tell you if the problem you identified is the root cause.

Industry applications

Over the years, RCA has evolved to work within various fields, each with its own unique needs and approach. The most apparent use of RCA is in the medical field. The TV show House is an excellent example of RCA in action.

Different types of RCA

RCA comes in different forms depending on the problem you’re trying to solve. Here’s what they look like:

When to perform a root cause analysis?

When you’re doing an RCA to determine the source of a fault, you’ll usually find 3 basic types of problems:

The 3 Rs of Root Cause Analysis

No doubt you’ve heard these 3 Rs: “reduce, reuse, recycle” or maybe even “reading, writing, arithmetic.” But RCA also has its own system of 3 Rs: Recognize, Rectify, Replicate.

How to do a root cause analysis

RCA can be accomplished using many different tools and techniques. And even though those processes may look different, they all arrive at the same end goal: fixing the root cause of the issue.

Course Description

The main goal of the course is to provide a systematic introduction to numerical methods, as a first step in understanding the mathematics of computation and how it is used in solving real world problems..

Supplementary readings

1. Scientific Computing with MATLAB and Octave, 2nd edition, by A. Quarteroni, F. Saleri, Springer 2006 (FREE* download for UCCS students on Springerlink.com, or you may also purchase a papercopy for $24.95 including S&H) [*You must be on the campus network to be able to freely download individual chapters of the book.]

Computer software (MATLAB)

A majority of the problems discussed in class and those assigned for homework will require the effective use of a computer. MATLAB is the software of choice during our class; no prior experience with MATLAB is expected. The best way to learn how to use MATLAB is through examples; some will be given in class, others will be suggested outside class.

Homework

Weekly sets of homework problems from the textbook and other sources will be assigned, with due date on Wednesdays, unless otherwise specified. No late homework will be accepted or graded. For Math 5650 credit, students will have a project to work on.

Exams

There will be 2 midterm Exams during the semester and a comprehensive Final Exam, as follows

Grading

The course grade will be the higher of the two derived according to the following schemes: Scheme 1 = homework (30%), the two exams (20% each) and the final exam (30%); Scheme II = homework (30%), the best of two exams (30%) and final (40%). The final scores will be 'curved' to reflect the class distribution.

Other policies

To make the most of your class, you are required to attend every class session. Students should notify (in advance) the instructor if they need to miss more than one session. Supporting documentation may be required.
