Root Cause Analysis Audit and Assessments

Ask us to Audit your Root Cause Analysis Capabilities

Failsafe Network has tapped into an international group of practicing rooticians from diverse industries and businesses to help determine what is possible in the root cause analysis world.  Using information obtained from this world-wide source, we have developed two types of assessments. 

Our first type of assessment is very generic, and can be applied no matter what type of investigative method is being used within an organization.

Our 2nd type of assessment is more specific, and was developed to help organizations that have committed to Failsafe's investigative methods.

Both of these assessments are offered free of charge to anyone desiring to do a SELF-ASSESSMENT.  We would also be delighted to facilitate a more formal assessment if you desire. 

Self-Assessments (free of charge).
On-site assessments, where we facilitate and you help gather the "evidence."

Enabling the Mini-RCA/LCA Process

Ask us to be your coach and mentor!

It is a gross mistake to merely wait for a catastrophic event to occur, and then to investigate it.  We have learned, the hard way, that catastrophic events are caused by the same factors that allow small problems to fester.  It's the small problems that cause big problems.

Knowing this, Failsafe Network has developed a specific strategy for helping organizations to learn from their small problems.  The backbone of this strategy is abundant use of the Mini-RCA/LCA.

Root Cause Analysis Data Collection and Trending

Let us help you trend your findings

Part of Failsafe's suggest approach to learning from things that go wrong is to track, trend, and then act on organization latent causes.  However, instead of using pick-lists (or drop-down lists) to choose organizational latent cause categories, Failsafe has developed a more flexible, open-ended approach that produces more meaningful results.  Root Cause Analysis Data Collection and Trending Services

Mother-Source Central Services

Let us help you nuture your Root Cause Analysis Efforts

Since 1985, Failsafe has been insisting on the need for organizations to have dedicated groups of people focused on learning from things that go wrong (root cause analysis).  Without these kinds of groups, most people get sucked onto the "Merry-Go-Round" without even knowing it -- until disaster strikes in one form or another.

Failsafe calls these dedicated groups of people a Root Cause Analysis Mother-Source, because they must nurture the endeavor of "learning from things that go wrong."

Unfortunately, however, most organizations do not have this resource. They think they are already stretched too thin.

Failsafe's has relationships with several Root Cause Analysis Consultants (independent consultants), who are Licensed by Failsafe to fill this essential gap until you can justify a group of your own.
