Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this publication is to present the usage of Root Cause Analysis (RCA) approach in Industry 4.0 conditions. Design/methodology/approach: Critical literature analysis. Analysis of international literature from main databases and polish literature and legal acts connecting with researched topic. Findings: The integration of Root Cause Analysis (RCA) within Industry 4.0 emerges as a strategic imperative, offering a systematic and holistic approach to problem-solving in the dynamic landscape of advanced technologies and interconnected systems. RCA serves as a powerful tool for dissecting multifaceted issues arising from the convergence of physical and digital systems, crucial in understanding and mitigating problems linked to smart technologies, automation, and data-driven processes. In the context of Industry 4.0's complexities, RCA facilitates a comprehensive examination of events, enabling organizations to identify the fundamental causes of disruptions or inefficiencies. The systematic investigative approach of RCA proves indispensable for navigating the intricate web of factors influencing the performance of smart manufacturing processes, cyber-physical systems, and the Internet of Things (IoT). As industries prioritize real-time data collection and analysis, RCA becomes instrumental in deciphering patterns and correlations within the data deluge, guiding informed decision-making and proactive problem resolution. Overall, RCA's integration into Industry 4.0 signifies a strategic method for fostering resilience, continuous improvement, and sustainable success within this dynamic and technologically-driven landscape. Originality/Value: Detailed analysis of all subjects related to the problems connected with the usage of Root Cause Analysis in Industry 4.0 conditions. Keywords: Industry 4.0; Quality 4.0, quality management; quality methods, RCA, Root Cause Analysis. Category of the paper: literature review.
