Implement Advanced Root Cause Analysis to Improve Incident Investigations

Advanced Root Cause Analysis

What is advanced root cause analysis?

To understand the difference between advanced root cause analysis and techniques that use the label “root cause analysis,” you must understand the fundamentals of root cause analysis. We outlined the fundamentals HERE.

These fundamentals are the basis of the TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis System – the advanced root cause analysis system used by leading companies around the world (see their success stories HERE).

For more information about the difference between substandard root cause analysis and advanced root cause analysis, see these articles:

Or for an example of the difference between common root cause analysis and advanced root cause analysis, watch this video…

How Do You Implement Advanced Root Cause Analysis to Improve Incident Investigations?

That’s an excellent question. And we wrote a book on how to do it:

Root Cause Analysis Implementation

The book includes an improvement program checklist (shown below and used by permission)…

Implementation Checklist from Book 2

In the book, AVAILABLE HERE, is a detailed description of each item on the checklist. The checklist can be used when developing a new root cause analysis system implementation or when developing plans to improve your current TapRooT® Advanced Root Cause Analysis implementation.
