It should come as no surprise that those companies with the most "corrective actions" (often incorrectly issued for "common cause" variations) have __never__ performed a process [[https://asq.org/quality-resources/fmea|"Failure Mode and Effects Analysis" (FMEA)]]... or FMECA ("Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis"). So, in reality, one could assert that the true "root cause" of __many__ process nonconformities was a lack in properly planning the process to begin with. | It should come as no surprise that those companies with the most "corrective actions" (often incorrectly issued for "common cause" variations) have __never__ performed a process [[https://asq.org/quality-resources/fmea|"Failure Mode and Effects Analysis" (FMEA)]]... or FMECA ("Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis").

A significant number of "common cause" variations can be addressed and eliminated when planning (designing) a process. Or otherwise "re-designing" an existing process. The most effective process improvement activities are realized through applying the Lean Six Sigma concepts & methodologies. | A significant number of "common cause" variations can be addressed and eliminated when planning (designing) a process.
