An independent systematic Root Cause Analysis can help to identify the source of failures in a system. There are many tools that can be brought to bear in this effort including using a consistent, proven, process for analysis and graphical tools including Sequence Diagrams, Fishbone Diagrams, Failure Mode Analysis, Causal Factor Trees, and others. Sebald Consulting can help you track down these items as an independent resource. An independent review can also help ensure that there are no blind spots within the organization that may be impeding resolution.
