When to do an extent of condition analysis?

Extent of condition evaluations are usually done soon after an accident to decide if additional immediate actions are needed to address the risk of additional failures while a root cause analysis is being conducted. My definition of extent of condition is:

When to look at the extent of a problem?

First, let’s look at extent of condition. Extent of condition evaluations are usually done soon after an accident to decide if additional immediate actions are needed to address the risk of additional failures while a root cause analysis is being conducted.

When to do an extent of cause analysis?

Extent of cause is usually performed after the specific root causes are identified for a set of Causal Factors that led to an incident/accident. The extent of cause is used to decide if a specific root cause needs to be analyzed to find the Generic Causes behind the specific root causes. This can lead to more extensive corrective actions.

How to do root cause analysis of failures?

The root cause analysis of the two failures showed manufacturing problems with that particular blade type. This made the extent of cause analysis fairly easy to perform in that the manufacturing process for this type of blade was fairly unique.
