Root Causes

A Root Cause is the deepest

underlying cause or causes ofpositive or negative symptoms withinany process, which if removed, wouldresult in elimination, or substantial

reduction, of the symptom.


22/29

Why Root Cause Analysis ?

Root Cause Analysis:

• helps to eliminate the problem, not just the symptom

• conserves scarce resources

• promotes discussion and reflection

• provides rationale for strategy

selection


23/29

Determining Root Causes

Will correcting or eliminating this

root cause result in success?

If yes, then it is a root cause.

If no, then it is a contributing factor.
