RCFA PRO DELIVERABLES
• Actual causes of the
consequence.
• Potential causes that could
lead to same consequence.
• Defensible failure
management strategies to
minimize reoccurrence due
to actual and potential
causes.
• Maintenance tasks and
intervals
• Inspection tasks and
intervals.
• HAZOP analysis of suggested
modifications.
A NEW PARADIGM IN ROOT CAUSE FAILURE ANALYSIS – A PROACTIVE APPROACH TO PREVENTING THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE FAILURES
THE OBJECTIVE OF A ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS IS MORE ABOUT PREVENTING THE REOCCURANCE OF THE CONSEQUENCE THAN IT IS ABOUT
FINDING THE ROOT CAU SE OF A FAILURE. RCFA PRO NOT ONLY IDENTIFIES THE CAUSES OF THE
CONSEQUENCE, IT ALSO IDENTIFIES THE POTENTIAL CAUSES. USING SOUND
RCM LOGIC, DEFENSIBLE STRATEGIES ARE DEVELOPPED
TO MINIMIZE THE REOCCURANCE OF
THE FAILURE AND ITS
CONSEQUENCE.
The RCFA Pro Advantage
Most RCFA processes focus on identifying causes and
deliver categorized suggestions for remedial actions.
RCFA Pro offers a quantum leap in capability and
defensibility by first targeting the real business need of
preventing a reoccurrence of the consequence and
secondly by having the built in capability of determining
actual remedial actions for both human and equipment
factors, including maintenance task and intervals. RCFA
Pro also has the capability of performing the HAZOP for
suggested modifications such that undesired
consequences will not occur as a result of the
implementation.
A Best Practice
RCFA Pro is based on the fundamental principles
of Reliability Centered Maintenance, which is a best
practice process itself. It is a facilitated process with
input from the people closest to the assets. RCFA
Pro has the capability of identifying both the actual
causes and the potential causes resulting in the
overall prevention of the consequence. This is a
best practice criterion for RCFA processes. The
RCFA pro process has been in use in high-risk
industrial applications for over 10 years. The
process is auditable and defensible.
Due diligence
Consequences, and most importantly serious
consequences, should be prevented due to all known
causes, not just the ones that occurred on the day of
the failure. RCFA Pro provides a sound basis for due
diligence in consequence prevention by developing
remedial actions for both actual and potential
causes.
One Solid Process
With RCFA Pro, there is no need to use different
processes to finalize remedial actions. RCFA Pro,
through the RCM2 logic, determines actual
maintenance tasks, intervals and modifications.
Hazops of the suggested modifications can also be
done prior to implementation.
Core Business
RCFA Pro’s functional approach ensures that
remedial actions continue to support the core
business objectives while ensuring perpetual benefits
in safety, production, costs and profitability.
