ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS

Root cause analysis is an approach for identifying the

underlying causes of why an incident occurred so that

the most effective solutions can be identified and

implemented. Generally it is a tool designed to help

identify not only what and how an event occurred, but

also why it happened. Only when the investigators are

able to determine why an event or failure occurred,

will they be able to specify workable corrective

measures that prevent future events of the type

observed. The investigator’s goal should be to identify

specific underlying causes. The more specific the

investigator can be about, why an event occurred, the

easier it will be to arrive at recommendations that will

prevent recurrence. Occurrence investigations must be

cost beneficial. It is not practical to keep the valuable

manpower occupied indefinitely searching for the root

causes of the occurrences. Recommendations should

directly address the root causes identified during the

investigation. If the analyst arrives at vague

recommendations, then they probably have not found a

basic and specific, enough cause and need to expend

more effort in the analysis process.A root cause

analysis should be performed as soon as possible after

the error or variance occurs. Otherwise, important

details may be missedGreat responsibility lies on the

shoulders of the managers while conducting the

analysis. Managers must explain that the purpose of

the analysis is not to assign the blame. The comfort

level with the technique increases with use, but the

analysis wil always be subjective. It differs from

troubleshooting problem solving and the failure

analysis. The process however is not very simple.

Determining the reasons for problem, designing a

solution, implementing the solution and evaluating the

success of the solution are the major steps in root cause

analysis. Once the problem is defined, the team will

brainstorm potential reasons why the problem exists.

These reasons may be human, organizational or

physical. The process of brainstorming requires a bit of

research. Once the real, underlying root cause of the

problem is understood, a solution can be designed.

Implementing and evaluating the solution are relatively

straight forward. The key to implementation is

planning and ensuring buy-in at all levels. Evaluation

can be done in many ways. Apart from this clear

communication is required for solving problems

effectively. Even a simple analysis can be eye-opening

to the people who deal with the problem on a regular

basis. Managers are sometimes unaware of the details

that those closest to the work view as common

knowledge.Root cause analysis is a valuable

management tool that can be readily learned by

managers as well as frontline personnel. It can be

conducted at several levels of depth and complexity.

Root cause analysis is a very popular business tool,

and as a result many different business theorists have

developed tools to get the job done.

Microphone with signal conditioning circuitry for

Hearing Aid Application

Amount: Rs. 46 lakhs

Period: 3 years

PI: Ms. Veda Sandeep Nagaraja, Assoc. Prof, E&CE

Dept

Co-PI: Ms. Shylaja

Objective

Design, Fabrication and characterization of a MEMS

Microphone for hearing aid application.

To overcome the present problems of poor sensitivity

and directionality in present hearing aids.

To improve the sensitivity of the microphone at low

cost

DST New Delhi:

Dr. Habibuddin Shaik, Asst. Professor, Dept. of

Physics is awarded with “Young Scientist

Fellowship” from Dept. of Science and Technology,

New Delhi. DST has sanctioned a project titled:

Development of Low-cost Copper Oxide Solar Cells

and Modules by Magnetron Sputtering and Effect of

Silver Nano particles incorporation on the Cell

Performance under Young Scientist Scheme

Amount: Rs. 35 Lakhs.

PI: Dr. Habibuddin Shaik, Asst. Professor, Dept. of

Physics

SITAR (DRDO):

Design, simulation and modeling of MEMS

microphone array and signal conditioning electronics

as per enclosed Specification

Amount: Rs. 7 Lakhs

Period: 1 year

PI: Ms. Veda Sandeep Nagaraja, Assoc. Prof, E&CE

Dept

Co-PI: Mr. Girish G.K., Asst.Prof, E&CE Dept

Objective

The main objective of the proposal is to design a

MEMS based array of microphones and signal

processing system. The project is to design a system to

identify the vehicle (tanker) in a given radius in a land

mine scenario.

The incoming acoustic signal will be captured by the

MEMS microphone and further enhanced using a

signal processing circuitry. The signal processing

circuitry will improve the directionality of the MEMS

microphone array subsystem whereby the overall

efficiency of the system will improve. The tiny

directional microphone array can easily be mounted on

a PCB and integrated with the signal conditioning

circuitry.

The proposal will also look into the various aspects of

signal attenuation due to the underground burial of the

overall system. The signal conditioning circuitry will

also filter the noise signals and sense the direction of

the acoustic signal emitted by a vehicle in the battle

field scenario.

A 5 Days National Workshop on “Thin Films &

Nanomaterials for Device Applications” conducted

from 19th Jan to23rd Jan 2016 at NMIT Bangalore, in
