Root cause analysis for the chemical industry
Process plants rely on seals, valves, instruments and rotating equipment working together. RapidRCA gives each failure a structured analysis, and Repeat Finder helps show which causes return across units, even where spare equipment hides them.
Typical problems
- Seal, valve and instrument failures in process units
- Equipment where a clear record matters
- Standby pumps hiding recurring faults
- Shutdown learning that gets lost
How RapidRCA helps
- Build a 5 Whys and fishbone from a short description, photo or file in minutes.
- Repeat Finder sorts your work orders by cause and ranks what keeps repeating by how often it repeats and how much downtime it causes.
- Edit the cause list to match your own failure categories.
- Give every action an owner, a due date and a status, and track it until it is closed.
