Overview

People become successful in life by failing. The truth is, we cannot achieve success if we do not fail. Failure is inevitable. It will happen. Success comes after failure. Just like in industries, when an equipment failure happens, we need to accept it, challenge it and the most important of all is to learn from the failure. This means that when an incident happens, we have two options, either we learn from them or just ignore them and let the failure repeat itself. The message of Root Cause Failure Analysis is simply to take the first option and learn from the failure. Although there are many ways and techniques how to analyze the problem, what the author believes is that the root cause can only be derived if the evidence is well preserved. Without the presence of evidence, one can only speculate, agree, disagree, brainstorm, or make a judgment based on their experience. A true root cause will separate the facts from fiction before we spend time and resources to finally address the cause of the problem. Also explained in this book is the difference between conducting a Root Cause Failure Analysis Investigation and the common analytical problem-solving tools. The author of this book based his interpretation on his personal knowledge, experience, and former affiliation with one of the leading providers of Root Cause. I believe that uncovering the root cause is based on 100 % facts and pieces of evidence unfolded. Any investigation that is not based on evidence will not generate the root cause but only the probable or the most likely cause of the failure. The words Root Cause Analysis (RCA), and Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) will be used respectively in this book. The author would prefer to use the word Root Cause Failure Analysis for equipment-related problems, while Root Cause Analysis will be used for non-equipment-related problems such as accident or safety investigation, quality defects investigation, and administrative incident investigation. Failures must not only be prevented nor predicted but what is important is challenging failures and learning from them. Finally, this book ends on what the real message of Root Cause Failure Analysis is all about. Some of the highlights of this book include: - Why Failures are Important - Why MTTR and RCFA are The Opposite of Both Worlds - The Slow and the Fast Train - The Golden Rule on Root Cause Failure Analysis - Is Root Cause Failure Analysis Reactive or Proactive? - Difference Between Analytical Problem Solving Tools and RCFA - Evidence: The Lifeblood of Root Cause Failure Analysis - Three Types of Evidence on RCFA - Understanding the Physical Cause of Failures - Understanding Human Errors - Is It Possible to Eliminate Human Error in Maintenance? - Classic Case of Human Error - The Sinking of the RMS Titanic - Ending Our Probe on the Latent Cause of the Problem - Classic Case of Latent Cause: The Challenger Disaster - Decoding the Song Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson - Detailed Steps in Conducting an RCFA Investigation - Different Types of Corrective Actions - Actual RCFA Case Study - FAQs, Tips, and Donts on RCFA - All Failures have a Reason for Failing - Integrating RCFA Into the RCM Process - The Message of Root Cause Failure Analysis

The training is a perfect combination of technical and inspirational training. Mr. Angeles uses very practical and real-life situations to explain his points in videos regarding Michael Jackson which creates a relaxing atmosphere. Mr. Angeles is very patient in answering all our questions. We see his passion and expertise very much with the subject matter. He has a broad knowledge in other fields like history (when he discussed JFK's life story. I personally enjoyed and learned a lot from this training. I will truly keep all my notes for reference in the future. Mr. Angeles is indeed a world-class trainer. From Lisaer Pineda, Process Engineer, Petron Informative, interesting, and new revelation. This training is full of information new to my knowledge. Root Cause Failure Analysis becomes a thing that needs to be given priority whenever there is equipment or parts that fail. By ignoring it, a fatal incident could happen. This training teaches participants how to conduct Root Cause Failure Analysis in the workplace. It is full of relevant workshops and real situations in life. Rolly was somehow able to elevate every worth not just because of the diploma but this principle I can apply in every aspect of life. From Ernesto Salarda, Chemist, Energy Development Corporation Previously what I been taught to get the root cause, you must do the why-why analysis then you will choose the high possible cause, and then, from the high possible cause, you will get the answer to the root cause, but from this training, it is something new and interesting. To get to the root cause is actually in a different way, and it shows and proven that this training works. I will apply this knowledge to my daily work. From Mohd Fathi Bin Elias, Maintenance Engineer, Aerospace Industry Understand the values of components in regards to the reliability of the equipment. The pattern of analyzing failure enables me to show more effort on how to eliminate and reduce the cost of parts involve after equipment failed. This training helps me identify the details of Root Cause Failure Analysis and share with fellow mechanics the principles of why-why. From Elijah Loctonagan, Mechanical Technician, Team Energy Corporation, Sual A well-planned, well-organized, cultured event useful at every level in the industrial field. Very practical oriented, knowledgeable and useful training that provides guidance at every level. From A. B. Udavant, Mumbai Port Trust, Superintendent Engineer, Mumbai, India Mr. Rolly, an experienced trainer with perfect presentation skills and lots of humor, is very relevant to plant maintenance personnel in any industry. He is simply leading the respectable journey of maintenance professionals. From Sanjay Panchial, Assistant Manager, Rockman Industries Ltd., The knowledge given was very different from our presumption. Very useful and good discreet knowledge. The importance given on the change of culture which was the main solution for all the problems. Changing the Man from the Mirror was a very important message received. From O.R. Kamble, Manager The training was very good. It actually addressed the real issues faced by the maintenance team in any industry. The tools covered are also very vital tools to improve the reliability of the maintenance equipment. From Tushar Mahark, Manager, Orissa Power Generation This training is very important for me as part of maintenance engineering because we encounter many troubles without tracing the root cause of the breakdown. It may help us in troubleshooting analyzing the failure with the guidance of this training. I can apply this system at the production line, also additional information to understand and to eliminate hardship in repairing. From Rowell Sarmiento, Continental Temic, Philippines
