W2_Eman_Root CAUSE analysis Using TREE DIAGRAM
1. Problem
Definition
After
the project completion and reach Commercial Operation date (COD), it is handed
over to Client Contract & Interface department (CCI). The Generator start
invoicing us and claim for the energy delivered, water delivered, capacity and
fuel consumption, to insure it is the right amount to be paid, the department request
for additional information, which sometimes get delayed and cause delay in the
payment. To avoid this problem and find the causes will use Root
cause analysis tree diagram.
2. Identify the
Feasible Alternative
The
root cause analysis is required to identify the exact root cause of the problem
then list the possible corrective actions. In order to find the causes of the
problem I will use RCA tree diagram.
3.
Development of the Outcome for Alternative
By
using Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) I will be able to clarify, identify
and allocate responsibilities of CCI Department. In order to resolve the problem
with the generators. As shown in below table:
Table 2. Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM)
4.
Selection Criteria
After
completing the RCA tree diagram, the result show as 3 possible solution that
our department can follow for improvement.
5. Analysis and
Comparison of the Alternative
The
result from the Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) show us the direction of
assigning the responsibilities. It facilitates for the manger to assign the 3 possible
solutions from RCA tree diagram, to the Stakeholder 2 and 3.
6. Selection of the
Preferred Alternative
There
are many ways for identifying the causes of a problem, but the preferred one is
RCA which indicate the true cause of the problem.
7. Performance Monitoring and the Post Evaluation
of Result
After implementing
the solutions, we will check the performance of the generator and how efficient
and fast they are in providing the data in monthly basis.

Sorry Eman but you missed a very essential element of our 7 step process and that is you MUST NOT start out with only a single alternative. You MUST start out with at least two and preferably three or more and then determine which one is "best" or "better" normally by using some sort of Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM) approach.
ReplyDeleteI am REJECTING this posting with the suggestion that you start again but this time, select ALL the different RCA tools/techniques http://www.realitycharting.com/_public/site/files/pdf/ARCA_Appendix.pdf.. or http://asq.org/learn-about-quality/cause-analysis-tools/overview/overview.html and then applying one of the Multi-Attribute Decision making Models from HEREhttp://www.planningplanet.com/guild/gpccar/managing-change-the-owners-perspective Figures 8-14 and then REPOST this as W2.1 but this time, apply our 7 step process to show which one of the RCA tools is "best" or "better" to apply to your unique situation.
