Root Cause Failure Analysis, RCFA Meaning

This video explains the meaning of RCFA (Root Cause Failure Analysis) and walks through the recommended RCFA process steps. It is a small sample from the Rotating Equipment Reliability Excellence Training Course PowerPoint Bundle download. Covered in this lesson are RCFA fundamentals, the RCFA investigation workflow, fault‑tree development, and how RCFA compares to simpler tools like the Five Whys.

The full 4‑day course download includes four reliability engineering PowerPoints (354 slides) plus two workbook documents (introduction and advanced).
