Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) for Industrial Equipment

1) Course Introduction

This course provides a structured methodology for investigating failures and identifying root causes to prevent recurrence.

At the problem-solving core, Seattle International Institute for Training integrates proven RCFA tools, case histories, and mechanical diagnostics.

2) Key Learning Objectives

Participants will learn to:

· Apply RCFA frameworks (5-Why, Fishbone, Apollo)

· Identify mechanical, human, and process-related failures

· Collect and analyze failure evidence effectively

· Develop corrective and preventive actions

· Improve equipment and process reliability

3) Target Audience

· Maintenance & reliability engineers

· Inspection teams

· Operations supervisors

· Technical analysts

4) Course Importance & Business Impact

RCFA eliminates chronic failures, reduces cost, and improves asset performance.

5) Practical Modules / Key Topics

· Failure investigation workflow

· RCA tools and methodology

· Mechanical failure diagnosis

· CAPA development

· Case studies
