The profitability of any industry, in any technological sector-power, process, manu-
facturing, mineral extraction, transport, communication-will be profoundly influenced
by the reliability and performance of the plant which it uses. It is therefore vital that
all possible measures are taken to maximize the productivity in use, and to minimize the
maintenance costs and the downtime, of that plant. Root Cause Fai/ure Analysis provides
the concepts needed to effectively perform industrial troubleshooting investigations.
It describes the methodology to perform Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA), one of the
hottest topics currently in maintenance engineering. It also includes detailed equipment
design and troubleshooting guidelines, which are needed to perform RCFA analysis on
machinery found in most production facilities. This information will therefore be invaluable
to maintenance and plant managers wanting to increase their own knowledge, plan or
provide training (and use this book in doina so), rators needina to improve
their skills.
