About
Root Cause Analysis is the most important factor in determining the quality of each organization including the beverage industry, it is a methodology of identifying the roots of the problem to solve it.
Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is done to determinate the main cause of the error or problem caused during the process. The RCA for out o specification, deviations during the manufacturing and market complains must be determinates.
Our Solutions
Pareto Chart
A Pareto chart is a histogram or bar chart combined with a line graph that representing different problems to show their relative significance (ex. pressure, temperature corelated on specific date time). The bars show frequency in descending order, while the line shows the variations as you move from left to right.
5 Whys
The 5 Whys is a method that uses a series of questions to drill down into successive layers of a problem. The basic idea is that each time you ask why, the answer becomes the basis of the next why. It’s a simple tool useful for problems where you don’t need advanced statistics, so you don’t necessarily want to use it for complex problems.
Of course, it may take asking why more than five times to solve the problem the point is to rise into surface-level issues to get to the root cause.
Fishbone Diagram
A fishbone diagram sorts possible causes into various categories that branch off from the original problem. Also called a cause-and-effect or Ishakawa diagram, a fishbone diagram may have multiple sub-causes branching off of each identified category.
No matter which tool you use, root cause analysis is just the beginning of the problem-solving process. Once you know the cause, the next step is implementing a solution and conducting regular checks to ensure you’re holding the gain and achieving sustainable continuous improvement.
