When & How To Use a Checklist
The RooT® Cause Tree® & Dictionary Provide the Basics
When should you have a procedure for a task? That’s easy. See pages 46-49 of Root Cause Tree® Dictionary (Nineth Edition). It even defines what a “procedure” is on page 48.
What can lead to errors using a procedure? Look at the root causes under the three Basic Cause Categories in the Procedures section of the Root Cause Tree® Diagram (shown at the top of the page – Copyright 2015 by System Improvements. Used by Permission. Duplication Prohibited.)
Not Followed/Not Used provides root causes for not using a procedure.
Wrong provides reasons for making an error while using a procedure because the procedure was wrong.
Followed Incorrectly provides reasons that someone might make a mistake because of the way the procedure is written.
