Root Cause
Analysis
Systematic investigation of failure events to eliminate root causes — not just symptoms. TMG delivers RCA facilitation, Sologic Causelink software deployment, and RCA training programmes across mining, energy, defence, and industrial sectors.

Why Root Cause Analysis
01
Stop Repeat Failures
Addressing symptoms produces temporary relief. RCA identifies the systemic causes that, when corrected, prevent recurrence — delivering lasting reliability improvement.
02
Reduce Costs
Repeat failures carry compounding costs — lost production, emergency maintenance, regulatory penalties. Each root cause eliminated removes an ongoing cost burden from the organisation.
03
Regulatory Compliance
Regulated industries are increasingly required to demonstrate systemic failure investigation. A structured RCA programme provides the audit trail and evidence base regulators expect.
04
Build Organisational Knowledge
RCA investigations, when documented systematically, build an institutional knowledge base of failure modes and effective solutions — transferable across sites and generations of engineers.
05
Improve Safety
Many safety incidents share root causes with reliability failures. A robust RCA programme identifies latent hazards before they escalate, improving safety and operational performance simultaneously.
06
Drive Continuous Improvement
RCA is a core pillar of LEAN and continuous improvement frameworks. TMG integrates RCA into broader reliability and asset management programmes to compound improvement over time.
The Sologic 5-Step RCA Methodology
Define the Problem
Precisely characterise the failure event — what occurred, when, where, and the magnitude of impact. A well-defined problem statement prevents scope drift.
Gather Evidence
Collect physical evidence, data, and witness accounts systematically. Evidence quality determines solution quality — TMG guides teams to preserve and capture the right information.
Build the Cause Map
Construct a structured cause-and-effect chart linking the problem to all contributing causes. Each cause is supported by evidence — preventing speculation from entering the analysis.
Identify Solutions
Develop solutions at the root cause level. Sologic's method evaluates each solution for feasibility, cost, and effectiveness before recommendation — prioritising high-leverage interventions.
Implement & Track
Solutions assigned to owners with timelines. Causelink software tracks implementation status and measures whether failure rates decline as predicted — closing the loop.

Why Causelink Over General Tools
Purpose-built for RCA — not a general diagramming tool adapted for cause mapping
Evidence linkage is built in — every cause node can be pinned to specific evidence
Solution tracking closes the loop between investigation and operational outcome
Enterprise analytics reveal systemic failure patterns across sites and time
AI assistance accelerates cause map development without replacing expert judgement
API integration with CMMS systems eliminates duplicate data entry

What Makes Sologic RCA Training Different
Evidence-Based Method
- Every cause in a Sologic cause map must be supported by specific evidence — opinion and speculation are structurally excluded
- Participants learn to distinguish between facts, inferences, and assumptions in investigation data
- Evidence linkage in Causelink software reinforces the discipline in every future investigation
- Results in findings that withstand regulatory and legal scrutiny
TMG Industry Context
- Training delivered by practitioners with CMRP and CRL designations and decades of operational experience
- Case studies drawn from mining, energy, defence, and regulated infrastructure sectors
- Integration with broader reliability frameworks — RCM, FMEA, Weibull analysis — contextualised throughout
- Private on-site delivery allows use of client’s own failure events as training material
