What methods do you use for Root Cause Analysis?
Started by Rosemary4, Apr 06 2016 02:29 PM
We are now working to issue 5 which heavily features Root Cause Analysis for audits and incidents. I'm just wondering how others are approaching this? What methods do you carry out RCA with?
3.6.2 - Methods for supplier approval
Co-Manufacturing with Kosher Supervision – Hazard Analysis
Hair and Beard Covering Risk Analysis for Packaging Facilities (BRCGS Issue 7)
Can Data Cutoff Dates Differ for Audits vs. Internal Analysis?
Expired Inventory - setting a new assessment on positive microbial analysis and organoleptic inspection results

I've used 5 Whys in a micro lab. Worked well there.
Hi Rosemary, if you didn't catch it maybe you could get a few ideas form this previous Food Safety Fridays webinar.

We started using 5 why last year.
Fishbone was used before and still applies sometimes
Depends on what the application is. I use 5-Why for audit or systems non-conformances but I find Fishbone to be most effective for factory floor incidents. Fishbone is especially helpful when engaging stakeholders from a range of departments/skill sets in a group so that the exercise is more comprehensive and adds more value through engagement and ownership of the issues and resolutions.
