Companies can implement Root Cause Analysis (RCA) in their problem-solving processes by first identifying the problem or event that needs to be addressed. Once the problem is identified, a systematic process is followed to find the 'root causes' of the problem. This involves data collection, cause charting, root cause identification, and recommendation generation and implementation. The aim is not just to solve the problem at hand but to find a way to prevent similar problems from occurring in the future. It's important to note that RCA is a team effort and requires the involvement of all relevant stakeholders.

According to the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services, "Root cause analysis (RCA) is a systematic process for identifying 'root causes' of problems or events and an approach for responding to them. RCA is based on the basic idea that effective management requires more than merely 'putting out fires' for problems that develop, but finding a way to prevent them."
