About this title

Synopsis

None of us really know anything until we invade the areas of our lives in which we are ignorant and discover for ourselves the truth of our existance.

A 186 page "textbook", this book is a refreshing alternative to the typical, boring,"black - and - white style" textbooks written about Root Cause Failure Anlysis. Full of stories, clip art, humor and passion, this book is a practical cookbook, a moral lesson and a philosophical journey all-in one. In addition to explaining HOW to arrive at "root cause", the author also explains, through numerous examples, WHY he has developed the methods he uses. This most popular of Failsafe's publications is the basis for its four day course entitled "The Root Cause Experience."

From the Inside Flap

Here is everything you will need to successfully identify the true ROOT CAUSES of things that go wrong in you place of business. You will learn a comprehensive, step-by-step discovery process. You will be exposed to the many barriers that impede progress in this area, with plenty of suggestions on how to overcome them. You will see how others have successfully addressed failure. But perhaps most imnportantly you will discover what Mr. Nelms discovered -- that there might be only ONE root cause of everything that goes wrong in our lives.

From Mr. Nelms: "There are certain sections of this book that cross into disciplines in which I have no formal training. You will wonder how a degreed Aerospace Engineer is qualified to speak about the human pscyhe, for example. In this respect, I am no more qualified than you to make observations on some of these subjects.

But then, that is one of the main points of this book, i.e., than none of us really knows anything until we invade the areas of our lives in which we are ignorant, and discover for ourselves the truth of our existance."
