Tango - RCFA
Root Cause Failure Analysis Manager

While many companies have a formalized root cause of failure analysis process, the process for managing the RCFA progress, case actions, repairs and reapplication to similar equipment is not standardized, easily communicated, nor accountable.

Tangoâ„¢ provides a RCFA information management tool which stores and manages information generated by your RCFA process.  The Root Cause Entry screen (figure 1) is designed to capture critical RCFA case information as it becomes available.

The Root Cause entry status, figure 2, provides a summary of all open RCFA cases and progress information on each case.

The RCFA corrective action status report, figure 3, rolls up the assigned action for all personnel assigned corrective actions. This list provides RCFA actions from all open cases, by individual.
