Apollo Root Cause Analysis Training

Best Practice: Apollo Root Cause Analysis

Fix Problems Once, Not Over and Over Again

Recurring failures. Costly downtime. Safety incidents. The Apollo RCA method combined with the RealityCharting® software gives your team a structured method to uncover and eliminate the true causes behind them.

Whether you’re managing a mine site in Mount Isa or a manufacturing line in Melbourne, effective Root Cause Analysis transforms your problem-solving culture from reactive to resilient.

The Apollo Root Cause Analysis training gives your team the tools to uncover what’s really causing problems and eliminate failures for good.

When was the last time you trained your team in a problem solving methodology?

Understanding the Root Cause, Not Just the Symptoms

Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is more than just asking “why” five times. It’s a structured problem-solving methodology designed to identify all contributing causes—technical, human, and systemic.

Many teams rely on outdated tools like the 5 Whys or rigid frameworks like ICAM and TapRooT. While useful for simple issues, these approaches often stop short of true root cause failure analysis—leaving deeper issues unresolved.

Our training is built around the Apollo RCA method, which uses logical cause-and-effect thinking supported by RealityCharting® software. This approach uncovers the full picture—not just the first answer that appears.
