Learning objectives
• Be able to identify the underlying root cause(s) out of the CPAR or SCPAR problem!
• Be able to recommend an effective solution based on the identified root cause(s)

CPAR / SCPAR Basic Process
Problem Occurs
Deviation or Failure
Determine Root Cause
Determine Corrective
ActonIssue CPAR
Identify CPAR Respondents
Respondents write answers
to CPAR
Responses approved
Corrective action starts
Corrective & Preventive
Respondents sign-off when
completed
Effectiveness is reviewed
CAR Closed

CPAR / SCPAR Solution Approach

CPAR/SCPAR is not effective when
Root Cause is not pointed out and addressed!

5 Why's Analysis
A simple tool for drilling-down on the problem statement until the root cause is identified by asking "WHY" 5 times
Countermeasure
Problem Statement
![Page 9: Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Tools](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051311/54441cb4afaf9f550d8b47d5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
5 Why's Analysis
TIPS:!Avoid intentional or unintentional bias while answering!Find the right person who can answer the 5Why's!Use other RCA Tools if you're getting misleading answers
Countermeasure
Problem Statement

Example of 5 Why's AnalysisProblem Statement: The pizza delivery personnel's motorbike stopped while on his way to deliver several orders of pizza resulting to delay!Cost Impact: All delayed pizza were given free of charge to the customers amounting to a total of Php4,000.00
Why 1: Why did the motorbike stopped?!Answer 1: Because it ran out of gas while on its way to deliver pizzas!!Why 2: Why did then gas run out?!Answer 2: Because the delivery personnel did not gas up the motorbike that morning!!Why 3: Why didn't the personnel gas up the motorbike that morning?!Answer 3: Because the personnel did not have money to buy the gas!!Why 4: Why did the personnel not have money to buy the gas?!Answer 4: Because he was not able to ask money from his manager!!Why 5: Why was he not able to ask money from his manager?!Answer 5: Because he came in late and was not able to find the manager!
Solution: The pizza delivery personnel should come to the office on time or earlier to find the manager and ask for gas money before the deliveries.

Affinity Diagram
A simple tool for putting together a big number of detailed and inter-related causes and group them according to broad topics.!!This helps in focusing on the bigger picture or Major root cause. !!Similar to Zooming Out.
CAUSES
Major Causes

Example of Affinity Diagram 1/3
Brainstorm on ideas about the causes

Example of Affinity Diagram 2/3
Group inter-related causes

Example of Affinity Diagram 3/3
Identify the Major Causes

Fishbone Diagram
A quality tool used for identifying the root cause based on the "Cause & Effect" relationships!!Useful for analysis of complex problems!!Grouping of causes can be according to 5Ms or by major causes
![Page 16: Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Tools](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051311/54441cb4afaf9f550d8b47d5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Example of Fishbone Diagram 1/3
State the problem

Example of Fishbone Diagram 2/3
Define the Major
Groups of Causes

Applicability of RCA Tools
•5 Why's Analysis!
When looking at one major cause and needs drill-down to arrive at one root cause!
•Affinity Diagram!
When looking at several inter-related and detailed causes which have some things in common and can be grouped together to see the Major Causes!
•Fishbone Diagram!
When looking at numerous major causes and needs drill-down probing to arrive at numerous root causes(s) based on their Cause and Effect Relationships

Form groups of 4 to 5 members
Choose a problem coming from your past CPAR or SCPAR cases
Use any of the RCA tools to identify the root cause and recommend a Corrective and/or Preventive Action Countermeasure
Please ensure appropriateness of the selected RCA tool to the difficulty or complexity of the problem
Team Exercise on RCA Tools
