In many companies, deviation/non-conformance investigations are often criticized for the lack of a robust root cause analysis. Proper root cause can help a company in many ways. Root cause analysis helps identify what, how and why something happened, thus preventing recurrence. Root causes are underlying, are reasonably identifiable, can be controlled by management and allow for generation of recommendations. The process involves data collection; cause charting, root cause identification and recommendation generation and implementation.
