| Root Cause Analysis | | 2008-06-27 06:14:00 | | It’s a story about those days, not so long ago, when reading was not a hobby but an activity that I would engage in only occasionally. Poetry, painting and drawing had become hobbies of the past. Come weekend and there was plenty of time but nothing to do.
I would pick up my mobile, scroll through the list of contacts and call up friends one after the other. Movie, lunch, dinner? Sometimes, a friend would agree and we would have fun. Other times, I would hear from all of them that they had already made other plans or that they wished to rest at home or that they were bankrupt or …..
So I would sit on my bed all day in a godforsaken PG (paying guest accommodation) and get bored.
One day, unable to stand this boredom any longer, I decided to go shopping all alone.
I went to Commercial street. I bought a white skirt with pink floral prints on it. I ate American corn from one of the makeshift shops. I entered “Westside” thinking I would only window shop. After three hours I came ... | | By: Writers Blend - The Intellectual Mindscape [RSS] | | |
| | Going To the Root Cause of Hair Loss | | 2008-02-11 15:02:15 | | Baldness is not an uncommon sight among men. However, it is also a fact that hair loss is not limited to men alone. It is perhaps because of this equal tendency for baldness that both men and women are becoming increasingly interested in understanding the cause of hair loss.

The following barriers are not meant to be all encompassing, but serve as the most likely to cause an analysis and solution from being complete and successful:1) Facilitator Not Prepared - The person(s) conducting the analysis must be versed in Problem Solving techniques and have experience in Group Dynamics and Facilitation. It is not important that the facilitator be an expert on the process being investigated, in fact if the facilitator is too close to the subject he/she will inhibit the thought process. The Root Cause Facilitator is like an investigator who continuously searches for facts and experiences by asking pro... | | By: qualityg says ... | | |

| | Root Cause Analysis - Part II "PLANNING A ROOT CAUSE SESSION" | | 2007-05-14 16:44:00 | | Part - II PLANNING A ROOT CAUSE SESSIONRoot Cause Analysis - Part I - Introduction http://qualityg.blogspot.com/2006/07/quality-tooltechnique-root-cause.htmlPlanning a Root Cause Session is basically an easy task; it has 4 Phases (Preparation, Analysis, Verification and Implementation) with major activities that need to be accomplished.The amount of work and time that is required in each phase depends on the amount of data that exists and how experienced the group is in Root Cause Analysis. Cycle Time for conducting a session and getting results will vary depending on the complexity of the problem/process and whether or not the group is Functional (shorter) or Cross-Functional (longer).Following is a synopsis of each phase and the major steps that are required to conduct a Root Cause Analysis:PHASE I - PREPARATIONThe Preparation Phase is important so that the Analysis Phase can be devoted to brainstorming potential causes to a previously identified problem.

| Root Cause Analysis - Part I - Introduction | | 2007-05-13 01:50:00 | | The following write-up in on Root Cause Analysis. Some of what you will read is unique to me, other ideas and suggestions are an accumaulation from a number of sources that I pieced together over the years as I applied this Tool. You will not find an Ishikawa Diagram Below. The Ishikawa Diagram is better served for presenting some facts, it is NOT what Root Cause Is, Sorry!ROOT CAUSE ANALYSISWHAT DOES IT MEAN?Whether our jobs are in Operations, Sales, Engineering or Quality, or any other function within our organization we should become familiar with the concept of root cause analysis and how it can benefit our day-to-day job functions.Each day we encounter problems or obstacles that make it difficult to perform our jobs or meet our goals. Every employee who performs their work function on a day-to-day basis becomes a problem solver. In our efforts to improve our work processes or to control and prevent defects, errors and obstacles, we all should be looking for the root cause that is ... | | By: qualityg says ... | | |
