Abstract
An integrated process model for root cause failure analysis based on reality charting, FMEA and DEMATEL
Highlights
Root cause failure analysis method (RCFA) is a method which emphasizes on recognition of root cause failures and controls similar failures from happening by discarding the causes recognized (York et al, 2014; US-DOE, 2010)
Penros and Frost (2015) examine the failures of an electric machine. They mention RCFA as effective approach for failure analysis; repair versus replace decisions are discussed in this research (Penrose & Frost, 2015)
Aurisicchio et al (2016) provide a root cause analysis approach based on the Issue Based Information System (IBIS) and Function Analysis Diagram (FAD) (Aurisicchio et al, 2016)
Summary
Recognition of the roots of poor quality and failures is a key approach and an essential step for improving processes and, analysis of the cause of failures is an important feature. One of the key challenges for organizations is to find the right way to prevent and control failures and prevent further damage (Hekmatpanah et al, 2011; Tahan et al, 2014). Based on the importance of preventing the recurrence of failures, root cause analysis of failures has been turned into a vital component of different industries such as aviation, nuclear, oil & gas, Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), power and communication, steel etc. Root cause failure analysis method (RCFA) is a method which emphasizes on recognition of root cause failures and controls similar failures from happening by discarding the causes recognized (York et al, 2014; US-DOE, 2010). The main objective of RCFA is to find and analyze all solutions which lead to product or process errors and to identify
