Method evidence record

Risk-based Root Cause Analysis

Risk-based Root Cause Analysis (RBRCA) integrates classical root cause investigation with quantitative or semi-quantitative risk assessment to ensure that corrective actions are directed first at the causes that carry the highest probability and consequence of recurrence. Unlike standard RCA, which identifies root causes without systematically ranking their hazard potential, RBRCA assigns risk scores to each identified cause, allowing organizations to allocate limited remediation resources where they can reduce overall risk most efficiently.
