Our team has achieved impressive results for clients through the disciplined application of proven Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and root cause failure analysis processes and standards. RCA is predicated on the belief that problems are best solved by correcting or eliminating root causes, as opposed to addressing the immediately obvious symptoms only. GBS engineers and analysts provide expert support and training services to assist clients with identifying root causes for troubled systems, machinery, and components that reduce system availability and reliability.
