Casos aplicados del análisis de causa raíz: revisión
Resumen
En este artículo, se presenta una revisión bibliográfca acerca de la implementación del
análisis de causa raíz (RCA, por sus siglas en inglés) a diversos problemas presentados en elementos
mecánicos en diversas industrias del sector productivo. Se hace una breve contextualización sobre
qué es el RCA y los pasos que se deben realizar para poder efectuarlo de una manera correcta en un
problema ingenieril y su utilidad en cuanto a la mitigación de gastos, en una obra, en una planta, o en
cualquier otra situación que merezca realizar una investigación de esta naturaleza. Las investigaciones mostradas en este artículo exponen diferentes casos que aplican la metodología RCA para determinar la causa de falla de piezas críticas dentro de diversos equipos. El común de estas indagaciones
muestra unos pasos que son imprescindibles, como explicar la naturaleza del elemento de falla, desarrollar una caracterización fsicoquímica del material del elemento mediante técnicas de espectroscopia, micrografía, fractografía y, en algunos casos, aplicación de los conceptos de diseño mediante
el análisis por elementos fnitos. Además, se hace una comparación del elemento de estudio con
investigaciones recientes o previas sobre mecanismos de falla posible a fn de determinar la posible
causa raíz de falla del elemento estudiado. En algunos casos, los autores dan recomendaciones para
la mitigación de los riesgos de falla, que llevan consigo un mejoramiento operativo y económico.
