Course Overview
PAGE 2
 This presentation is an introduction to performing
Root Cause and Corrective Action (RCCA).
 The RCCA process includes:
₋ Clearly defining and analyzing a defect
₋ Identifying solutions
₋ Carrying out solutions
₋ Validating the effectiveness of applied
corrections to eliminate a defect.

Application
PAGE 3
 RCCA applies to the activities associated with
correcting and preventing defects related to:
‒ all phases of production from raw material to
finished product
‒ production processes
‒ all aspects of your company’s business
 RCCA can be beneficially applied to all
departments and functions in a company.

Goals
PAGE 4
 The Goals of this presentation are:
– To provide a working understanding of the roles,
responsibilities & activities associated with RCCA;
– To assist our suppliers in performing this important
function when responding to a SCAR;
– To provide tools to our suppliers that may help in
identifying and addressing defects before they are
delivered to Marvin Engineering.

Hands on Experience
PAGE 5
 This afternoon we will provide an opportunity to
apply the concepts provided in this presentation
to:
– Conduct a problem investigation (fact finding).
– Determine the Root Causes (causal analysis)
– Define actions to eliminate the problems (identify
solutions)

Root Cause Analysis
PAGE 6
 Root cause analysis is an
approach to identify the
underlying causes of why an
incident occurred so that
the most effective solutions
can be identified and
implemented
RCCA comes down to three basic
questions:
1. What's the problem?
2. What allowed it to happen?
3. What will prevent it in the
future?

The word root, in root cause analysis, refers
to the underlying causes, not the one cause.

Root Cause Definition
PAGE 7
 Root Cause:
A condition or action that
begins a chain that ends in a
defect
 There are multiple root
causes that can result in the
same problem
 Addressing only 1 of many
causes won’t eliminate the
defect.
If effective RCCA is not performed, the problem will reoccur.

Symptom vs. Root Causes
PAGE 8
Old
Symptom Approach
New
Root Cause Approach
 “Errors are often a result of
worker carelessness.”
• “Errors are the result of defects in
the system. People are only part
of the process.”
 “We need to train and
motivate workers to be more
careful.”
• “We need to find out why this is
happening, and mistake-proof it
so it won’t happen again.”
 “We don’t have the time or
resources to really get to the
bottom of this problem.”
• “This is critical. We need to fix it
for good, or it will come back and
burn us.”

Define and confirm the problem
Capture (contain) all affected items
Restore (rework) the discrepant items to compliance
Find the causes of the problem
Develop an action plan prevent a recurrence
Implement the plan
Evaluate the effectiveness of the solutions
Provide Objective Evidence of the implemented
solutions

Define the Problem
PAGE 12
Phase 1: Investigation
A well-written problem statement
answers four simple questions:
• What is the specific problem?
• Where did it happen?
• When did it happen?
• How many or how much is involved?

Problem Statement
PAGE 13
Phase 1: Investigation
 The statement of a documented problem (from a
Marvin Engineering SCAR)
– S/B .219 +.002/-.001 Dia. Hole, B/P sheet 3,
zone C-4, section A-A
– IS O/S to .228

Restate the Problem
PAGE 14
Phase 1: Investigation
 Problem Restated:
– PN 1534AS1234 has an oversized hole: S/B .219
+.002/-.001 dia.; IS O/S to .228; B/P : sheet 3,
zone C-4, section A-A.
– Work orders: 216, 178 and 230
– Machines: Drill Presses #2 and #9
– Qty. = 121 pcs. on SCAR, 78 pcs. In work

Containment Action
PAGE 15
Phase 1: Investigation
 Search to find all items affected by the problem. Isolate
them to ensure they are not processed further, or
shipped to the customer.
Investigate all areas inside and outside the company:

Phase 2: Analysis
Do not sit at a desk, read the problem
statement, and then “solve” the
issue alone.
Instead, involve others who have
knowledge to offer:
• The Purchasing Agent
• The Machine Operator
• The Quality Inspector

Phase 3: Decision
 Short Term Corrective Action(s)
fix the immediate problem(s)
 Long Term Corrective Action(s) fix
the systemic problems at the root
cause level
 Generate no additional problems

IMPORTANT
Not All Corrective Actions are Created Equal
PAGE 21
 Corrections that are systemic in nature, like automatic checks or
gates are significantly better than just cautioning an employee to be
more careful

Verification & Validation
PAGE 23
 Verification & Validation
– Verification
• Did we do what we said we were going to do?
– Validation
• Were the actions effective in eliminating the problem
and preventing it from recurring?
• Were other problems created because of the changes?

Objective Evidence
PAGE 24
Each SCAR response requires that evidence of the changes made
are provided to Marvin Engineering along with the SCAR
Examples:
 Training sign-in sheets for employee training on a new or
changed procedure
 A copy of the new or changed procedure
 The inspection data validating the First Article Inspection part
from a changed CNC program
 A copy of a revised inspection sheet adding a previously
skipped characteristic

Summary
PAGE 25
– The fundamental Root Cause & Corrective Action
(RCCA) process involves
• Containment, Correction, Root Cause Analysis,
Corrective Action, Verification, Validation
– Effective RCCA depends upon:
• A well written problem description - define the
requirement being violated
• A robust causal analysis - use quality tools
• A diligent validation - with data showing
elimination of the root cause
Without these the defect cycle will repeat
