The root cause analysis is a component of the preventative action process where necessary steps has been taken to keep the nonconformance from reoccurring again by employing processes and procedures to build defenses for future prevention (Westcott, 2005).

  • Cause & Effect Analysis: Cause And Effect Diagrams

    1115 Words  | 3 Pages

    Cause-and-effect diagrams are charts that identify potential causes for particular quality problems. They are often called fishbone diagrams because they look like the bones of a fish. A general cause-and-effect diagram is shown in Figure . The “head” of the fish is the quality problem, such as damaged zippers on a garment or broken valves on a tire. The diagram is drawn so that the “spine” of the fish connects the “head” to the possible cause of the problem. These causes could be related to the machines, workers, measurement, suppliers, materials, and many other aspects of the production process. Each of these possible causes can then have smaller “bones” that address specific issues that relate to each cause.

    Additionally, it helped me develop a comprehensive set of techniques and methods that support the technical analysis of process, organizational, and production issues faced in the technical enterprise. Among the techniques and methods learned were deterministic optimization models that could be used to make an educated decision on variety of problems such as break-even analysis, transportation, assignment, transshipment and scheduling. Another important technique learned was statistical quality design and control. This is one of the most important things I learned throughout my graduate education. I learned that data is the foundation for process analysis and improvement. Too often in the Nuclear Navy, personnel ignore data and arbitrarily start troubleshooting issues because they feel like they are experts in the systems. I also fell into this trap because I made decisions based on my intuition before my engineering management curriculum, Using the tools learned in my Quality Systems Design course, I now use statistical processes and quality engineering principles for root casual analysis during troubleshooting. I have found this process to be quicker, cheaper, and less stressful for the personnel that I manage. The solid quality principles and techniques learned have even allowed me to find
