True Root Cause and Corrective Action (RCCA) Training

(2)

“True” RCCA Training Class

07/13/10

Objective:

To provide a project management approach, tools, and tactics for Teams to conduct successful “True” root cause investigations and define and implement effective and accountable corrective action plans that prevent re-occurrence.

Empower more people and functions to lead and/ or more

effectively contribute to root cause and corrective action (RCCA)

projects

(3)

“True” RCCA Training Class

07/13/10

Features:

Utilizes three primary tools:

– Project Rolling Action Item List (RAIL) – Issue Closure Plan (ICP)

– Root Cause Verification Action Plan (VAP)

Not all tools referenced are always going to be required.

– There is flexibility depending on the complexity and scope of the problem. The Corrective Action Board (CAB), Integrated Corrective Action Team (ICAT), and the project champion will offer guidance.

– The ICP should be utilized for most issues/ projects and serve as a company record.

Less complex problems can outline and execute the full closure plan including verification actions within the ICP itself.

– Simple issues can be worked and documented within a CAT project tracking spreadsheet

Ex. PCAS RAIL

The Method works even for the most complex problems.

– The 8D sequence of the steps is critical and should not be cut short or skipped. The time each step will take is again a variable depending on the complexity and scope of the problem.

Features (cont’d):

Contains “notes” (highlighted Blue) for key guidance and warnings relative to conducting a successful process and accomplishing the best team performance

Clarifies terminology involved in the process

Company record of accountability

– Willingly, by name documentation

– Names recorded at each separate progress point since the players may be different

“True” RCCA Training Class

07/13/10

Features (cont’d):

This training is based on the HBC modified 8-D problem solving steps but with additional instruction offered to increase the focus needed to assure that a team captures “true” root cause and

confidently prevents re-occurrence. Therefore, Step 4 has been expanded into 3 sub steps.

– HBC “Modified” 8-D Process

(steps 1 and 2 switched, Step 8 includes closure justification):

1. Construct the problem statement 2. Form a team

3. Implement interim containment 4. Determine the root cause (RC)

1. Brainstorm 2. Sort and Analyze

3. RC Verification Action Plan (VAP)

5. Develop corrective action (CA)

6. Validation of corrective action (Implement a permanent fix) 7. Prevent recurrence, preventive action (PA)

8. Project closure justification, recognize the team

This training assumes that you have some familiarity with the 8-D problem

solving process and the basic problem solving tools.

Reference the 8-D steps:

1. Construct the “Problem Statement”

• Take the initiative – Go to the floor

• See and touch the part, physically examine and interview the situation first hand

• Talk to everyone who “should” know something

1. Get on the phone with suppliers if applicable

a.) Make sure this is a non defensive discussion and doesn’t involve liability

Take written notes

– Consider the failure mode/ modes and aircraft operating conditions (consistent?) – Utilize a minimum of three relevant people (you + 2 others) to confirm it is:

• Correct and focused (single problem)

• Short/ concise as possible

• Simple/ clear as possible

• States the problem/ effect/ fault: does not infer or declare the solution

• Typically includes who, what, when, where, impact = 1 or 2 sentences

1. Typically employ Quality Eng, Design Eng, Mfg Eng, Tool coordinators, Operators / Mechanics, Ops Team Lead, SCM (MPN, Buyer, Matl Handler)

2. Work hard at this, expect iterations

a.) Note: a problem well stated is a problem half solved

b.) Note: “If you cannot say it simply, you do not understand the problem” – Albert Einstein c.) Einstein also said: If he had one hour to save the world he would spend 55 minutes defining

the problem and only 5 minutes finding the solution.

1. Construct the “Problem Statement” – (Cont’d)

– Start the project RAIL right away (eventually the Project Leaders responsibility)

First step in a written trackable plan

Use for logging anything that needs follow up, no need to limit content

Typical columns needed:

- Item number (entry order) - Assigned to (responsible)

- Priority number - ECD Pert Diagram - Date initiated - Date complete

- Description - Comments

– Start the “Issue Closure Plan” (ICP) –Project Leaders responsibility

First step: Record the problem statement in the ICP

A full written structured and trackable plan that works with the RAIL

Show higher level root cause (RC), corrective action (CA), preventive action (PA) investigation and closure tasks descriptions with key indentured interdependent sub tasks

Clearly reveals the critical pathto closure (RAIL does not)

Think Pert diagram for multi-dimensional interdependence of tasks and their sequence

» Note: keep asking “what’s the next step?”

Make sure all ECDs have a basis/ plan, therefore a PCD = planned completion date(or promise)

» PCDs are: written, scope of task analyzed, prioritized, resources committed

» Make sure all interdependent handoffs are clear and agreed to (don’t drop the baton)

It’s presentation ready to brief mgmt (retains continuity of actions, 3 panel charts do not)

It’s a company record of project – the RAIL and the VAP are placed into as attachments

Reference the 8-D steps:

2. Identify and Organize the Primary Team That Will Be Needed

– 3-5 people is best, cross functional, needed skill sets, diverse

– Pick a project leader, facilitator (RH man) & champion for large complex projects

• The Leader’s role is to assure the team follows the process, gets everyone engaged, utilizes the tools, drives and maintains the plan, updates and communicates the project information, calls the meetings

• The facilitator helps the leader and the team utilize the tools and conduct more effective team meetings

• The champion’s role is to offer guidance, helps get priority for closure tasks, removes constraints, be accountable with the team for results [also the CABs role]

– Approach as a “Special Project” that’s above your day job – not typically a full time assignment,

Note: continuous improvement is part of everyone's job

• Everyone can either lead or support these

• Many simple projects can be done alone but use 2 others for 3 person confirmation points

3. Interim Containment

– This is not part of the True RC training class focus – assumes that if the problem is a

new emerging issue that containment/ remedial action are accomplished in parallel

and recorded in the ICP

(12)

Reference the 8-D steps:

4. Find the Root Cause

– 4.1 Brainstorm the potential root causes and the escape point

• Assign someone to capture the thoughts (facilitator)

– Recommend using a white board, at end of meeting capture with digital camera – Note: the best way to have a good idea (or the correct idea) is to have a lot of ideas – Everyone still takes written notes:

» For their personal understanding and active engagement

» To get started on their action items prior to RAIL update and distribution

» To capture anything the group dynamics may have missed

» Assure everything gets captured on the RAIL at the end of the group’s meeting

• Focus the discussion by using:

– System element level block diagrams – Process flow diagrams

– 3D illustration (from A/C Maintenance Manual (AMM), Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC)) – Digital photographs

– Check Lesson’s Learned databases for problem/ solution similarity – Available data and trends

(13)

“True” RCCA Training Class

07/13/10

4.1 Brainstorm – (Cont’d)

• Death by 1000 questions (5+ whys / maybes = Socratic debate)

– Ask “why did” or “how could” that happen

» Followed by “maybe it’s because….”

» Ask “what’s changed” over time (especially recently)

» Ask “why doesn’t it happen in another similar situation/ application”

» Ask “what contributed, when did it occur, who was involved”

» Look for underlying causal chains or sequence of events leading to the problem (they may or may not be interdependent)

• Differentiate between symptoms, effects of, and actual root causes

Symptoms are indicators or observations, they characterize what’s changed

» When and where it was first observed, how it was first identified, quantifies the size and trend of the problem (ex. the problem became more frequent when it got hot outside)

Effects are something brought about by a cause, a description of a fault

» Effect = Fault = Problem: the spar cap “fractured” (failure mode- vs bent, buckled, crippled)

» Direct cause = Defect: because it developed a crack (failure mechanism- tensil crack growth)

» Contributing causal chain: part was damaged during transportation (crack initiation), because handling procedures weren’t followed, because new employees assigned to the task and not trained

» True Root cause= supervisors not assuring new employees are trained on requirements

» Other contributing cause: undetected during subsequent inspections

• Identify what you “know” (supported by data) versus “opinion” but capture/ record/

and explore everything.

(14)

“True” RCCA Training Class

07/13/10

4.1 Brainstorm – (Cont’d)

• Everyone participates, Repeat until no one can think of another “why” to ask

– Encourage free thinking, don’t criticize

– Don’t jump to conclusions too quickly – this causes the process to stop too soon

» Think intensely and at multiple levels (ref: the causal chain)

» “Peel the onion” – professionally and unemotionally challenge the basis

» Permit no pride of authorship within the team

» Note: most people can only support 1-2 layers of questions with their basis for root cause or a corrective action

– Don’t try to implement solutions before the analysis is complete

» Note: Our desire to act overpowers our need to understand – Supplier Issues should start with a pre visit phone call

» Includes the full team (include SMEs) and the suppliers counter parts

» This is the best first step to capturing potential root causes and making any required on site visits more efficient

Success test – eventually can’t tell who on the team came up with the original idea or the full string of the idea

» Note: Individuals can’t be perfect but teams can

(15)

4. Find the Root Cause – (Cont’d)

– 4.2 Sort and analyze the potential root causes

• Start by utilizing the simple project tools during the brainstorming

Further focuses the team in a structured way to organize and clarify the interactions and interdependencies at different levels of the cause

• Simple project tools

Affinity diagrams – groups supporting ideas into categories and a priority structure

Pareto – reveals what causes or effects dominate and may lead to the priority of items to investigate

Cause and effect (fishbone) diagrams – collects potential root cause elements and sub elements

» Typically: people, materials, machines/ equipment, methods, measurements, training, environment (noise, lighting, temp)

Fault Tree- a vertically oriented fishbone Process flow diagram

Sequence of events diagram

• Complex project tools

Histograms – identifies patterns, nominal values, and data limits

Relation diagrams – identifies relationships between drivers and indicators Scatter diagram – compare relationship between two variables

Web diagram – compare multiple variables to look for combination that could be the problem Trend charts

FMEA

DOE

Problem, Fault, or Un-desired Effect

4.2 Sort and analyze the potential root causes- (cont’d)

– Simple project tools

Fault Trees (essentially a vertically oriented fishbone diagram) Example fault tree elements / realms / branches:

– Design (from detail components, sub systems, system level schematic)

» Relevant elements for investigation

» Key characteristics

» Dimensional/Tolerance analysis (includes: temperature, vibration, dynamic loads/ deflections.)

– Fabrication, Assembly, Test process and controls

» Actual dimensions of relevant parts and tolerance trends (selective assembly practiced?)

» Property inspection results of relevant parts-hardness, surface finish, conductivity, etc.

» Process documentation and control

» Contamination control

– Quality (variability reduction and Type Design compliance)

» Non conformance condition history and trends of relevant parts

» Delegation of inspection authority

» Sampling rates

– Maintenance

– System operation (see example)

4.2 Sort and analyze the potential root causes- (cont’d) – Complex project tools

• Failure Mode and Effects analysis (FMEA)

– Excel spreadsheet produced during development that determines up front preventative action plans or used during an investigation to determine

priority of potential root cause items.

– Based on a calculated Risk Priority Numbers (RPN):

» Significance of the effect (severity), likeliness of occurrence, and probability of detection.

» RPN scoring systems can be unique for an individual project based on complexity of the problem(they can be simple)

– Design/Product FMEA: built from a top level system schematic (“what box talks to what other box/ components in the system?”) and/ or a detail part or assy level drawings

» What design characteristics/functions could lead to a particular failure mode?

– Process FMEA: built from manufacturing process flow diagram

» What process characteristics/functions could lead to a particular failure mode?

4.2 Sort and analyze the potential root causes- (cont’d)

– Other potential actions from lessons learned on complex problems:

Where do we have data that could help?

• How does teardown evidence and lab analysis information map to the Fault Tree elements?

• Create a chronological map of failure events to all manufactured units (serial numbers) and delivery dates for a correlation to when something may have changed.

• Capture change history of all Fault Tree realms and branches

– Design configuration, process, specs, inspection/test methods, personnel, tooling, location, suppliers, etc.

• Capture field service history

• Pareto list of all event S/N parts to the FT branches

• Look for combinations of FT branches/ variables as possible RC

• Review the LAI/ FAI and re-qualification process and reports for change of source or manufacturing location

• Construct a sub tier supplier map

– Recent interview results, recommendations – Audit reports and findings

– Turnover rate, business level changes

– Training and certifications compliance controls

4.3 Set up the “Verification Action Plan (VAP)” – (cont’d)

- Separate section/ sheet of the spreadsheet for each fault tree major element may be needed - Report % complete based on number of FT elements closed

- Determines what verification action required to dismiss or confirm every potential RC at each level

Verification = proving beforehand that the planned action will do what is intended

- Ex.) analysis, tests/ trials (objective evidence), comparisons with similar activities utilizing a subject matter expert (SME)

- Without a completed verification action the potential RC can’tbe eliminated based on available data

Validation = after CA implementation, checking that the action is achieving it’s goal and without adding a new problem (proof that the change has worked)

Note: nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs

– Ultimately verify by:

demonstrating you can turn the problem on and off

The selected RC also fully explains why the problem doesn’t occur in a similar applications and scenarios

– A minimum of three relevant people to commit they concur the “True” RC is correct,

comprehensive in terms of multiple levels of contributing causes, and the escape point is clear

Reference them in the ICP for future info (willingly held accountable)

Should also include the champion

(28)

“True” RCCA Training Class

07/13/10

Reference the 8-D steps:

5. Corrective Action (CA) plan definition and implementation

– Repeat the brainstorm/ death by 1000 questions

Ask and challenge “why would” or “how will” this prevent re-occurrence Peel the onion 5+ layers deep

From the escape pointdetermine where the problem should have been detected and where the future controls should be placed within the process

Consider implementation point and effects on the operation Do pro/ cons if there are CA alternatives

Belts and suspenders or multi-phased implementation may be worth the investment Keep the customer in mind

Do the right thing even if it’s hard or takes a long time

Add the action plan tasks to the ICP

A minimum of three relevant people to commit they concur the CA plan is correct and comprehensive in terms of appropriate action assigned to all levels of contributing cause

Reference them in the ICP for future info (willingly held accountable)

Should also include the champion

6. Define what will constitute “validation” for the CA

Ex.) an overall effectiveness metric for periodic review, follow up audits, periodic detail inspections or tests A recalculation of the original RPN to show significant improvement ( = 0, if re-occurrence eliminated) Add the action plan tasks, including tracking the implementation to the ICP

A minimum of threerelevant people to commit they concur the validation plan is correct and reference them in the ICP for future info (willingly held accountable)

Should also include the champion

(29)

07/13/10

Reference the 8-D steps:

7. Preventative Action (PA) plan definition and implementation

1. Systemic analysis – “where else” or “what else” could be impacted by this problem and RC?

• Think both other products and processes-assure they take action

2. Is there an underlying cultural or operational problem that needs addressed?

• How could this have been avoided?

– New communication or training required – Change to policies, practices, procedures

3. What potential unintended effects could occur from implementing the CA?

• This requires repeat of the brainstorm process and a check of the lessons learned database for applicability

• What will be the verification action to assure they’re avoided

4. Mistake proofing: ex. physical/ mechanical controls on tooling (see Juran training material)

– Add the action plan tasks to the ICP

A minimum of three relevant people to commit they concur the PA plan is correct and comprehensive

• Reference them in the ICP for future info (willingly held accountable)

• Should also include the champion

(30)

“True” RCCA Training Class

07/13/10

Reference the 8-D steps:

8. Project Closed: The full team agrees that the predetermined closure criteria were satisfied

– For each step above (as recorded in the ICP)

– Typically status ICP as closed once CA and PA closure plan accepted and implemented

• Update the ICP once the validation step is complete (Leaders responsibility) – Assured lessons learned are recorded and shared across the organization for

continuous improvement

– Appropriate recognitions and celebrations followed through.
