RCA

RCA, or Root Cause Analysis, is a method used to identify the fundamental reason(s) behind a problem or failure. Instead of just fixing the immediate issue, RCA explores what caused it so the problem can be prevented in the future. It involves investigating different factors—such as processes, systems, or human actions—to find the primary source. By understanding the root cause, organizations can implement effective solutions that address the core problem, leading to more reliable and long-term improvements. RCA is commonly used in quality management, safety, and troubleshooting across various industries.
