Root cause analysis involves defining the problem, gathering data, identifying causes, finding root cause, and acting.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Define the problem, Gather data, Identify potential causes, Determine root cause, Implement corrective actions
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because root cause analysis starts with clearly defining the problem, then collecting relevant data, identifying possible causes, pinpointing the root cause, and finally taking corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
- ✗
Gather data, Define the problem, Identify potential causes, Determine root cause, Implement corrective actions
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you must first define the problem before gathering data; otherwise, you may collect irrelevant data.
- ✗
Define the problem, Identify potential causes, Determine root cause, Gather data, Implement corrective actions
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because identifying causes and determining the root cause without data gathering leads to speculation rather than evidence-based analysis.
- ✗
Implement corrective actions, Define the problem, Gather data, Identify potential causes, Determine root cause
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because corrective actions should only be taken after the root cause is determined; implementing them first ignores the analysis process.
