The Root
Cause Analysis Handbook
A Simplified Approach to
Identifying, Correcting, and Reporting Workplace
Errors
by Max Ammerman
Book Description
An accident has occurred on the floor of your
plant. How do you determine what caused it so you
can prevent it from happening again? Or what if
there has been an error in the production line
that has led to the manufacture of defective
products? What do you do?
The answer is root cause analysis, a process that
allows you to find the cause of single events/problems
in the workplace. The Root Cause Analysis
Handbook presents a walk-through example that
illustrates the method and shows how to implement
it.
Because poor initial problem definition can (and
often does) undermine the problem-solving process,
Ammerman places special emphasis on this area to
build a solid foundation for effective analysis.
He also provides guidance on preparing the final
report.
The need for clear documentation on dealing with
problems makes this book especially valuable for
quality managers, engineers, safety managers, and
teams implementing the ISO or QS standards.
Written in a simple, user-friendly style, you
will grasp the core concepts quickly and begin
applying them to your work.

The Basics of Root Cause Analysis Explained
for Any Audience
For years the practice of
Root Cause Analysis has been benefiting
organizations world-wide, by enabling them to
identify sources of difficulty and to determine
the best methods for correcting these problems.
While these practices are essential parts of
total quality management, most books on the
subject are written exclusively for experienced
quality professionals. Now, best-selling author
Bjørn Andersen has teamed with quality expert
Tom Fagerhaug to write a basic-level book on Root
Cause Analysis, which brings this useful
information to a level that anyone can use,
regardless of background or experience.
Root Cause Analysis: Simplified
Tools and Techniques is an excellent reference
for those with little or no knowledge of either
root cause analysis or total quality management.
The authors have written an easy-to-use book that
will immediately benefit any reader. They make no
assumptions about the reader's previous
understanding of total quality management. Rather,
they explain root cause analysis from scratch,
avoiding the use of jargon or confusing terms.
Every aspect of the book starts from the
beginning, explaining each step along the way in
careful detail . The frequent use of examples
helps support each concept presented, and the
final demonstration nicely brings together all of
the tools and methods used throughout
Apollo
Root Cause Analysis - A New Way Of Thinking
by Dean L. Gano
Book Description
Apollo Root Cause Analysis
is about effective problem solving. It is truly a
new way of thinking that will ensure you find an
effective solution to almost any kind of problem.
You will discover new communication tools that
are revolutionizing the way people all around the
world think, communicate, and make decisions
together. This is a life changing book that will
enable you and your organization to effectively
communicate without the usual conflicts. Apollo
Root Cause Analysis creates a common reality that
everyone can see and understand. With this common
reality, communications becomes crystal clear for
everyone involved. Everyone can clearly see how
the solutions will prevent recurrence, are within
their control and will accomplish their goals and
objectives. Imagine your next meeting without the
usual arguments and power politics.
Nothing happens without a cause.
You will learn more about the cause and effect
principle than has ever been documented before.
Most notable is the fact that every time we ask
why? we should find at least two causes and when
we continue to ask why? we discover that there is
an infinite set of causes limited only by our
lack of knowledge. By documenting these branched
causes we are able to create a visual dialog that
ensures an effective solution every time.
You will learn why 70% to 80%
of the general population are ineffective problem
solvers and why conventional problem solving
methods dont work. You will also learn the
secrets of highly effective problem solvers.
The book opens with a chapter
on the pitfalls of problem solving and why 70% to
80% of the population are ineffective problem
solvers. Chapter 2 provides a complete
description of the cause and effect principle to
include a new discussion on why our linear
language causes linear thinking which prevents
effective problem solving. Chapter 3 provides a
complete description of the Apollo tools to
include a completely new way of looking at
evidence. Chapter 4 is all about effective
solutions. Chapter 5 discusses how to
institutionalize the Apollo methodology and
chapter 6 covers how to facilitate an
investigation. Included in this discussion is how
to avoid the common traps of ineffective problem
solving. The book also includes an Appendix that
compares the different root cause analysis
methods.
