-Such a system would keep all of the problem solving and root cause analysis tools (e.g., the 5 Whys, Fishbone Charts, Fault Tree Analysis), while using the "//root cause theories//" as input to a [[https://asq.org/quality-resources/fmea|"Failure Mode and Effects Analysis" (FMEA)]]... or PFMEA ("Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis").+Such a system would keep all of the problem solving and root cause analysis tools (e.g., the 5 Whys, Fishbone Charts, Fault Tree Analysis, Apollo Root Cause Analysis), while using the "//root cause theories//" as input to a [[https://asq.org/quality-resources/fmea|"Failure Mode and Effects Analysis" (FMEA)]]... or PFMEA ("Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis").
  
 Upon completing a PFMEA, one quickly realizes just how few "true" corrective actions are actually possible. And that by shifting the mindset to "risk management", rather than being obsessed with "risk elimination" (aka "Corrective Action"), significant quality improvements can finally be realized. Upon completing a PFMEA, one quickly realizes just how few "true" corrective actions are actually possible.
