Professionals in public utilities management organizations, including electrical, water, or waste treatment, may already be familiar with root cause analysis as a collaborative problem-solving method.
 
As seen with incidents such as the Flint Michigan (USA) Water crisis, when things go wrong, the impact on the public can be immense and the scrutiny severe.  Sologic is an established provider of root cause analysis to this, and related environmental industries to assure smooth and steady operations. For many years our training courses, methods and software have been tailored to the specific needs of this unique sector.

We didn’t so much as start thinking outside the box, with Sologic we really just started looking in the box properly for the first time.

Once we’d adopted the Sologic RCA method we were able to make major inroads into a host of stubborn recurring problems, some of which had plagued us for years.

The game changer for us was adopting Causelink Enterprise software. Revealing common causes across global projects enabled us to resource and plan in a vastly more efficient and effective manner.

So, what exactly is an effective RCA and what does it deliver to the utilities and environmental management industry?  At its core, RCA is a process for identifying the causes of problems or events in order to prevent them from recurring. It is based on the idea that effective management requires more than putting out fires for problems that develop but finding a way to prevent them. RCA can also be employed as a means of identifying best practice, supporting continual improvement and rewarding evidence-based decision making.

The methodology assists utilities professionals with:

  • Identifying underlying causes of significant problems or successes
  • Delivering solutions with immediate and lasting impact
  • Opportunities to overcome increased complexity in systems
  • Compliance with the growing expectations and guidelines of regulators
  • Reducing complaints and building a better reputation and experience for customers
  • Opportunities to improve failing systems and build resilience
  • Automated reports for improved transparency and compliance
Sologic is a global leader in providing Root Cause Analysis training, skills development and software to the utilities industry.  Our evidence-based method enables companies to discover the genuine systemic and non-systemic causes of failure and understand where they can focus their continual improvement efforts. We welcome the opportunity to help you solve problems, overcome complexity and improve quality.
