Access the RCA Overview Page

This topic describes how to access the RCA Overview page on which you can view all the information and perform various tasks related to Root Cause Analyses for various Asset Hierarchy Levels.

You can perform various tasks on this page based on the Security Groups to which you are assigned.

Steps

On the left navigation menu, select Reliability, and then select Root Cause Analysis.

The RCA Overview page appears.

The tabs at the top of the page summarize the number of items in each category. You can select a tab to view one of the following lists:
- In Progress: Displays Root Cause Analyses that have not yet been completed.
- My Analyses: Displays Root Cause Analyses to which you are assigned as a team member.
- Published: Displays Root Cause Analyses that have been completed and published.
- Template: Displays Root Cause Analyses that you can use to create new Root Cause Analyses. The Root Cause Analyses in the Template state are identical to Root Cause Analyses that are in the In Progress state, except that they do not have an analysis team defined.
- Cause Details: Displays Root Cause Analyses that have their cause type defined in the Logic Tree. You can select the hyperlink for an analysis to view the details of the Root Cause Analysis. The Root Cause Analyses in the Template state are not included.
On the page, you can also view the following sections:
- Recommendation Summary graph: Displays the number of recommendations in each state.
- Cause Summary graph: Displays the number of Hypotheses, for the selected Asset Hierarchy Level and its children, that are related to each type of cause (i.e., Physical, Human, and Latent). The Root Cause Analyses in the Template state are not included.
- Track Results by Recommendation Implementation Year graph: Displays yearly performance of Asset Hierarchy levels on which RCA recommendations have been implemented. The chart displays sum of all the maintenance costs and production costs from the work history family associated with all the Asset Hierarchy levels related to the RCA recommendations that have been accomplished within the year. The chart plots the maintenance costs of the Asset Hierarchy levels for the current year and the previous four years.
  
  Note: Optionally, if you have an active license for PLA and access to the required PLA families, you can change this graph to one that includes the production costs associated with Production Loss Analysis (PLA). To do so, access the dashboard configuration for the RCA Dashboard-V4 dashboard, which is stored in the Catalog folder \\Public\Meridium\Modules\Failure Elimination\Dashboards, and then modify the graph widget to reference the query \\Public\Meridium\Modules\Failure Elimination\Queries\FE Dashboard Query - Track Result - Total for Graph-V4.
While viewing any of the graphs on the RCA Overview page, you can select to customize the appearance of the graph.

By default, the hierarchy level is set to Home. You can filter the hierarchy level by selecting in the upper-left corner of the page. By default, the Root Cause Analysis information that will appear on the page is related to an Asset and children of the Asset.
