LCA Services Failure Investigations LATENT CAUSE ANALYSIS LCA LATENT CAUSE ANALYSIS LCA LATENT CAUSE ANALYSIS LCA Failures are costly, time-consuming, and inevitable. The key to avoiding failures is to learn from past failures. Latent Cause Analysis performed properly will teach us the hidden lessons from failures - latent causes. The latent causes from "normal" or "nagging" failures are the very same forces at work in the big catastrophic failures. To avoid these failures companies routinely perform RCA's on key failures and proactively address latencies before a catastrophic failure. If your
investigations end with recommendations to "re-train" then we are
confident the
problem has not been solved. The symptoms have been treated, but with
ever-increasing work loads and fewer resources, the PROBLEMS need to be SOLVED.
To do this you must reveal the hidden forces at work causing the failure.
The LCA process is not used to assign blame, an investigation MUST go beyond human
causes to reveal the Latent causes. Effective Latent Cause Analysis will do just this, thus avoiding multiple failures
in the future - saving time, resources, and money.
To avoid incidents in the future we need to understand why people do what they do. Until we understand we will never change... Comments from previous investigations: "I was very impressed! the process was very candid, it was very open, it was blame and guilt free.” – Plant Manager
"I have learned more in the last few weeks about the plant and the people in it than I have learned in the last 6 years of working there. 4 7/8 out of 5, nothing is perfect." – Plant Mechanic
"I would rate this investigation a 4.5 out of 5. We do other types of investigations and we have NEVER had such a positive response form everyone that was involved. This was great." – Manager of Engineering

human, and latent causes.
PRCTL will be careful to follow the process of Latent Cause Analysis, and being
independent, will ensure that agendas are checked at the door and the TRUTH is
revealed. The stakeholders will then list the highest
priorities for "opportunities to improve." This ensures that your
company's management team will have the opportunity to review the investigation
and implement key improvements that will avoid the same hidden forces from
causing multiple failures in the future.
