| "Just
get this machine up and running. We don't have time to do any RCA
bologna."
"I already know what caused this failure and I don't need any investigation to tell me something I already know." "RCA is a big waste of time --- never used it before and we got along just fine". "This
RCA stuff is all about finding a way to blame someone for the
problem and then hang them out to dry, I'll have nothing to do
with it". These are the belief systems and mind sets that will be a barrier to the implementation of your RCA efforts in your organization. However, for RCA to become fully "institutionalized" as "just the way we do business", these barriers need to be recognized and addressed. What good is any root cause analysis method if it's not accepted in your work place? What good is the method if your employees don't see the value? How much value does it offer your business if it can't be "institutionalized" so that it just becomes the standard way for solving problems? Understanding the process of how people move through change and how people come to accept change can lead to developing an implementation plan that is far more likely to succeed for you. Each organization is as different as fingerprints. They have their own culture and their own work place values. We will work with your organization in designing an implementation plan that takes your workplace culture into consideration so that it works for you. The SOLVE© root cause analysis methodology is simple, effective, easy to use, and works for all problems regardless of their complexity. At Action Services we have first hand experience in implementing root cause analysis into large manufacturing businesses and we can pass along what we have learned. |
