Root cause analysis for building materials
Cement, brick, glass and plasterboard plants run continuously with heavy, dusty equipment, so each stop is expensive. RapidRCA and Repeat Finder help teams find the causes behind repeat stops.
Typical problems
- Kilns, mills and conveyors under heavy load
- Dust and wear on fans and drives
- Continuous processes where a stop is costly
- Many similar assets with similar faults
How RapidRCA helps
- Repeat Finder can group similar assets, such as all mill fans, to show patterns across them.
- Repeat Finder sorts your work orders by cause and ranks what keeps repeating by how often it repeats and how much downtime it causes.
- Build a 5 Whys and fishbone from a short description, photo or file in minutes.
- Give every action an owner, a due date and a status, and track it until it is closed.
