RIM Best Practices

Best Practice #9: Optimize RCFA Management
Core Issues

• Maintain historical documentation of failure, Root cause findings, and corrective actions
• Track corrective action task to completion

Advantages

• Well-intended efforts to find the origins of equipment failures often lose momentum once the corrective actions are identified and delegated
• What is lacking is the systematic ability to track who is responsible and accountable for each corrective action, monitor progress as the actions are carried out, validate whether the corrections were effective, and only then close out the case as fully completed
