Aerospace series - Root cause analysis and problem solving (9S Methodology)
1.1 General
The objective of any organization, as part of continual improvement, is to reduce the number of issues (i.e. undesirable conditions, defects, failures) and to minimize their impact on quality, delivery performance, and cost.
This includes having processes in place to detect and eradicate significant and recurrent issues, which implies having well identified problems, a common understanding of their impact and associated root causes, and having defined and implemented adequate actions so that these problems, including similar issues will not happen again.
1.2 Purpose
Propose a methodology to improve the way escapes and issues are managed, including communication between all parties [e.g. engineering, Materials Review Board (MRB), manufacturing, manufacturing engineering, supplier, customer] to reduce their impact, contain them as far upstream as possible, and prevent recurrence (i.e. ensure the right measures are taken at the right location and at the right time).
Luft- und Raumfahrt - Ursachenanalyse und Problemlösung (9S-Methodik)
1.1 Allgemeines
Im Rahmen der kontinuierlichen Verbesserung ist es das Ziel jeder Organisation, die Anzahl von Problemen (d. h. unerwünschte Zustände, Defekte, Ausfälle) zu verringern und ihre Auswirkungen auf die Qualität, erbrachte Leistung und die Kosten zu minimieren.
Dies beinhaltet auch verfügbare Prozesse zur Erkennung und Beseitigung erheblicher oder wiederholt auftretender Probleme, was eine präzise Identifikation von Problemen, ein gemeinsames Verständnis ihrer Auswirkungen und der entsprechenden Grundursachen sowie die Definition und Implementierung geeig¬neter Maßnahmen zur Vorbeugung gegen ein erneutes Auftreten dieser und ähnlicher Probleme erfordert.
1.2 Zweck
Vorstellung einer Methode zur Verbesserung der Handhabung von Abweichungen und Problemen, ein-schlie߬lich Kommunikation zwischen allen Beteiligten [z. B. Konstruktion, Materials Review Board (MRB), Produktion, Produktionstechnik, externer Anbieter, Kunde], um deren Auswirkungen zu verringern, sie so früh wie möglich zu korrigieren und ein wiederholtes Auftreten zu verhindern (d. h. sicherzustellen, dass die richti¬gen Maßnahmen am richtigen Ort zur richtigen Zeit ergriffen werden).
Série aérospatiale - Analyse de cause racine et résolution de problème (9S méthodologie)
1.1 Généralités
L'objectif de toute organisation, dans le cadre d'une amélioration continue, consiste à réduire le nombre des problèmes (notamment les états de fonctionnement indésirables, les défauts, les pannes), et à minimiser leur impact sur la qualité, les performances et les coûts.
Cela implique d'avoir des procédures en place pour détecter et éradiquer les problèmes importants et récurrents, et donc de bien identifier les problèmes, bien comprendre leur impact et leurs causes fondamentales, et de disposer d'actions adéquates clairement définies et établies afin que ces problèmes et tout défaut similaire ne se reproduisent pas.
1.2 Objectif
Proposer une méthodologie qui améliore la gestion des fuites et défauts, y compris par la communication entre toutes les parties concernées (soit les ingénieurs, le Materials Review Board (MRB), le fabricant, l'ingénieur de fabrication, le fournisseur, le client) afin de réduire leur impact, de limiter leurs répercussions sur les derniers échelons de la chaîne de production, et d'en empêcher la récurrence (soit garantir que les mesures idoines soient prises au bon endroit et au bon moment).
Aeronavtika - Analiza izvornih vzrokov in reševanje težav (metodologija 9S)
V okviru nenehnega izboljševanja si vse organizacije prizadevajo zmanjšati število težav (tj. neželenih pogojev, napak, okvar) in čim bolj zmanjšati njihov vpliv na kakovost, izvedbo dostave in stroške.
To vključuje tudi vzpostavitev postopkov za zaznavanje in odpravljanje večjih in ponavljajočih se težav, kar pomeni, da je treba natančno opredeliti probleme, poskrbeti za splošno razumevanje njihovega vpliva in povezanih izvornih vzrokov ter opredeliti in izvajati ustrezne ukrepe, da se takšne in podobne težave ne bodo ponovile.
Predlagati je treba metodologijo za upravljanje odstopanj in težav, vključno s komunikacijo med vsemi strankami [npr. inženiring, Odbor za pregled materialov (MRB), proizvodnja, proizvodni inženiring, dobavitelj, odjemalec], da se njihov vpliv zmanjša in čim prej zajezi ter se prepreči njihovo ponovitev (tj. poskrbi za pravilne ukrepe na pravi lokaciji in ob pravem času).

Rationale
The objective of root cause analysis and problem solving is to not only reduce the number of issues
(i.e. undesirable conditions, defects, failures), but to minimize their impact on quality, delivery
performance, costs, and ultimately on the customer. Often big issues originate with small problems that
were discovered too late or were discovered, but were never resolved due to a lack of understanding
the actual issue(s), incorrect analysis of the root cause, and/or ineffective actions being taken.
This guidance document was created to provide a methodology for performing root cause analysis to
resolve a significant or recurrent issue [e.g. quality, On-Time Delivery (OTD), process, documentation),
as guidance within the aviation, space, and defence industry and/or when contractually invoked at any
level of the supply chain.
Foreword
In December 1998, the aviation, space, and defence industry established the International Aerospace
Quality Group (IAQG) with the purpose of achieving significant improvements in quality and reductions
in cost throughout the value stream. This organization, with representation from aviation, space, and
defence companies in the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and Europe and sponsored by SAE International,
Society of Japanese Aerospace Companies (SJAC), and AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of
Europe -Standardization (ASD-STAN), has agreed to take responsibility for the technical content of this
document to promote best practices that would satisfy associated requirements of Aerospace Quality
Management System (AQMS) standards (i.e. 9100, 9110, 9120).
To assure customer satisfaction, aviation, space, and defence industry organizations must produce and
continually improve safe, reliable products that meet or exceed customer and regulatory authority
requirements. This includes having processes in place to detect and eradicate significant and recurrent
issues. This document standardizes methodology to perform root cause analysis and problem solving to
support these efforts. The establishment of a common methodology, for use by organizations at all
levels of the supply-chain should result in improved action plans and a standardized way of exchanging
information between organizations and external stakeholders (e.g. suppliers, partners, customers,
regulatory agencies).
Introduction
This document has been developed by the IAQG. In accordance with the continual improvement
requirements defined in the 9100-series standards (see Clause 8, “Measurement, Analysis, and
Improvement”), it was deemed useful to promote those industry recognized best practices for
identifying the root causes of nonconformities or undesirable conditions (including potential issues and
conditions) and implementing correction(s) and associated corrective/preventive actions. The process
described in this document was created by comparing and mixing root cause analysis and problem
solving methodologies [e.g. 7 Steps, 8D, Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA)] used by main actors of
aviation, space, and defence industry.
Unless contractually specified, other root cause analysis processes with slightly different sequencing of
activities and/or different names of process steps may be acceptable, provided that these activities
meet the intent of this document and deliver the same outcomes (i.e. immediate protection, temporary
fix, durable solution, systemic improvement) and provides the same level of information.
Throughout this document, the words “should” and “required” indicate strong recommendations to
apply and correspond to actions that the authors of this document consider important in order to
deliver robust root cause analysis. When strict application of this document is decided by an
organization or is mandated by a customer, they shall be interpreted as an obligation to be complied
with (i.e. interpreted as “shall” and “must”).
