Root Cause Analysis Practice Exam

About Root Cause Analysis
A root cause is defined as a factor that caused a non-conformance and should be permanently eliminated through process improvement. The root cause is the core issue—the highest-level cause—that sets in motion the entire cause-and-effect reaction that ultimately leads to the problem(s).

Root cause analysis (RCA) is defined as a collective term that describes a wide range of approaches, tools, and techniques used to uncover causes of problems. Some RCA approaches are geared more toward identifying true root causes than others, some are more general problem-solving techniques, and others simply offer support for the core activity of root cause analysis.

Why is Root Cause Analysis important?
Root cause analysis (RCA) is the process of discovering the root causes of problems in order to identify appropriate solutions. RCA assumes that it is much more effective to systematically prevent and solve for underlying issues rather than just treating ad hoc symptoms and putting out fires.

RCA usually helps in determining and identifying defect and main causes of defect. By identifying root cause, once can find out permanent solution to it so that possibility of its future re-occurrence can be reduced or eliminated. It helps in developing a logical approach to solving problems.
