The purpose of this Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is to determine the causes that contributed to the recent fiber optic cable project’s material failure in the research lab. From this RCA we will determine exactly what happened during the failure event, how it happened, and why it happened. In order to accomplish this, a formal investigation will take place among an investigative team assigned by the Vice President of Technology. Once the team identified what, how, and why this event occurred, a list of root causes will be developed. This list of root causes will then be used to implement any changes necessary in order to prevent another similar failure.
It is important to note that for the purpose of this RCA, root causes should be:
As specific as possible
Reasonably identifiable
Able to be managed/controlled
Careful consideration must be given to all findings related to this RCA as these findings, as well as their corrective measures, will impact the TruWave project. Formal communication with the TruWave project team must be conducted throughout and upon completion of this RCA.
