Global Chemical Company Standardizes RCA

The Problem

The client’s previous approach to RCA was unstructured.There was no alignment on which events

required an investigation and when investigations were conducted, and there was no common

process to follow. Another issue was that sites lacked an effective way to track  investigations

through to resolution.

The Solution

The client chose to adopt a standard RCA methodology that would produce an evidence-based

understanding of problems and generate solutions that address proven causes.

The Benefits

● Standard methodology embedded across sites

Training and consulting from ARMS Reliability have helped upskill the client’s employees and drive

the adoption of a standard RCA methodology across more than forty sites in multiple countries.

● Fast implementation

OnePM® was deployed within three weeks and ARMS Reliability drove rapid adoption through

training.

● Increase in successful investigations

Clear trigger points have led to an increasing number of investigations with more than 220

undertaken in the first nine months.

● Significant cost savings

Based on actions put in place to prevent recurrence of one problem alone, expected cost avoidance

is in the range of one million dollars.
