Root Cause Analysis
Root Cause Analysis involves the systematic process of identifying the underlying causes of a problem or issue. It aims to determine the root cause or causes of an undesirable outcome, rather than just addressing the symptoms. This method typically involves gathering data, analyzing relationships between variables, and identifying patterns or trends that may have contributed to the issue. Root Cause Analysis is commonly used in industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, and engineering to improve processes, prevent future problems, and make informed decisions based on evidence.
