Root cause analysis is a systematic process for identifying the root causes of problems. It involves analyzing each potential problem area to find the underlying causes that create the problem. Common root causes can be related to machines, materials, methods, environment, and human factors like incorrect procedures, poor maintenance, use of defective materials, inadequate process controls, lack of skills or training, and improper measurement tools. A cause and effect diagram or fishbone diagram is a visual tool that can be used to organize and display potential causes of a problem.

- 6. FICCI CE Machine factors • Inadequate process capability • Incorrectly designed tooling • Poor maintenance • Equipment effected by environmental factors such as heat, humidity etc.
- 7. FICCI CE Material factors • Use of untested materials • Mix-up of materials • Substandard material accepted on concession because of non- availability of correct material • Inconsistency in specifications on the part of vendors
- 8. FICCI CE Men factors • Incorrect knowledge of setting up machines • Undue rush by the operator to achieve quality targets • Lack of understanding of drawing instructions relating to a process • Operator does not posses requisite skill for operating machines
- 9. FICCI CE Method factors • Inadequate process controls • Non availability of proper test equipments • Test equipment out of calibration • Vague inspection/ testing instructions
- 10. Cause and effect diagram Cause and effect diagram (also known as ishikawa diagram or fishbone diagram) is an analysis tool to analyze many potential or actual causes of a problem in a systematic way. It is a very effective way of improving the quality of the product or service.
