 S.M.A.R.T. is a mnemonic acronym, that provides criteria to guide in the setting of goals and objectives for better results. The first known use of the term appeared in the November 1981 issue of "//Management Review//" by [[https://www.projectsmart.co.uk/smart-goals/brief-history-of-smart-goals.php|George T. Doran]]. While there are several minor variations on the acronym, Doran's original definition was: \\  S.M.A.R.T. is a mnemonic acronym, that provides criteria to guide in the setting of goals and objectives for better results.

-Unlike other legacy quality management tools (e.g., "5 Whys"), "Apollo Root Cause Analysis" recognizes that the term "root cause" is a misnomer. While its creator (Dean L. Gano) claims that there are an infinite number of causes... thus prohibiting a "root cause" from ever being identified, I would posit that identifying a "root cause" is possible, but extraordinarily rare. One of the core concepts of "Apollo Root Cause Analysis" is to identify as many causes as possible and try to develop ways to eliminate or mitigate as many of them as possible. This is a __much__ more realistic approach than "corrective action".+Unlike other legacy quality management tools (e.g., "5 Whys"), "Apollo Root Cause Analysis" recognizes that the term "root cause" is a misnomer.

One of the core concepts of "Apollo Root Cause Analysis" is to identify as many causes as possible and try to develop ways to eliminate or mitigate as many of them as possible. Ultimately, the purpose of "corrective action" is to prevent the "recurrence" of a nonconformity... not to identify the //mythical// "root cause"
  
 While I like this approach, it still falls short in the area of actual problem-solving because it assumes that if enough "causes" are eliminated, the problem will eventually reach a point of acceptability. And this is logical. However, "Apollo Root Cause Analysis" becomes significantly more effective when used in conjunction with TRIZ. However, I do find the ARCA methodology a highly useful tool for "Cause and Effect" Analysis. While it is certainly superior to other methodologies. While I like this approach, it still falls short in the area of actual problem-solving because it assumes that if enough "causes" are eliminated, the problem will eventually reach a point of acceptability.
