Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Frameworks & Tools Training Presentation (PowerPoint PPT Deck)
 

DESCRIPTION
 

The Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Frameworks & Tools Training Presentation is a facilitation‑ready deck designed to provide hands‑on guidance in applying RCA methodologies and techniques.

​

While RCA principles explain the importance of identifying underlying causes, this presentation focuses specifically on frameworks and tools that practitioners can use to analyze problems, uncover root causes, and implement corrective actions. It is ideal for teams who already understand RCA concepts and now need practical methods to apply them in real-world contexts.

​

LEARNING OBJECTIVES​

​

1. Understand the range of RCA frameworks and their applications.

2. Learn how to use specific RCA tools such as Fishbone diagrams, 5 Whys, Pareto analysis, and fault tree analysis.

3. Acquire skills to select and apply the right tool for different problem types.

4. Develop practices to integrate RCA tools into continuous improvement initiatives.

​
CONTENTS
 

1. Overview of RCA Frameworks – Structured approaches to problem-solving.

2. Fishbone Diagram (Ishikawa) – Categorizing potential causes of problems.

3. 5 Whys Technique – Iterative questioning to uncover root causes.

4. Pareto Analysis – Identifying the vital few causes that drive most problems.

5. Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) – Logical breakdown of causes leading to system failures.

6. Other RCA Tools – Scatter diagrams, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Current Reality Tree (CRT), Bowtie Diagram, Root Cause Tree Diagram, and Kepner‑Tregoe Problem Analysis (KTPA).

7. Applying RCA Tools – Guidelines for selecting and using techniques effectively.

8. Case Examples – Practical illustrations of RCA tools in action.

9. Pitfalls & Best Practices – Common mistakes and proven strategies for tool application.

10. Templates Provided – Ready-to-use templates for Fishbone Diagram, 5 Whys Analysis, Root Cause Tree Diagram, and Bowtie Diagram to support immediate application.

 

Differentiation Note:

​

• The RCA Training Presentation provides a foundational overview of Root Cause Analysis and focuses only on the three most commonly used tools — Fishbone Diagram, 5 Whys Analysis, and Pareto Analysis — making it ideal for teams new to RCA or organizations seeking a simple, structured introduction.

​​

• The RCA Frameworks & Tools Training Presentation offers a broad toolkit of methodologies — including Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Bowtie Diagram, Current Reality Tree (CRT), Root Cause Tree Diagram, and more — designed for practitioners who need hands‑on application of advanced RCA techniques to solve complex problems.
