Some
problems are probably worth just correcting with a quick fix. For
instance, if a seal goes out and it only costs $20, then just correct
and track and trend. On the other hand, if hundreds fail, then the
situation is probably worth analyzing. Problems that hurt your
organization the most – in the form of repair, replace or rework costs,
downtime, lost revenue, penalties or fines – these must be the top
priority for formal corrective action.
Unless
your approach includes implementing and verifying correction,
containment, and more importantly corrective and preventive action, you
will not prevent problems from recurring. And unless your approach is
grounded in thorough root cause analysis like Apollo RCA™, you will not
be ready and able to successfully complete the necessary steps that
truly reduce risk, prevent recurrence and eliminate repeat issues.
