Troubleshooting & Root-Cause Analysis
When a process drifts, equipment keeps failing, or a pilot will not behave as expected, MTS works from operating data, field observations, samples, and equipment condition to find the cause and confirm the fix.
Troubleshooting & Root-Cause AnalysisIllustrative
When clients bring MTS in
When something is not running right.
Use this work when a process drifts, equipment keeps failing, product quality changes, or a pilot behaves differently than expected and the team needs to find the cause before making more changes.
Useful starting information
Start with what changed.
Bring trends, alarm history, samples, photos, maintenance notes, recent changes, and what the operators are seeing. MTS can help sort out what matters and what to check next.
Complete capability set
Work can include
- Review operating trends, logs, alarms, and recent changes
- Walk down equipment and talk with operators
- Check feed, samples, chemistry, and material properties
- Reconstruct what the process was designed and expected to do
- Compare good runs with bad runs
- Separate symptoms from the underlying cause
- Build a short list of likely causes
- Choose checks or tests that rule causes in or out
- Troubleshoot pumps, valves, instruments, controls, filters, and process equipment
- Investigate recurring failures and lost performance
- Define practical corrective actions
- Confirm the process or equipment actually improves after the change
Typical deliverables
What the client can expect to receive
- Clear problem statement and event timeline
- Evidence and likely-cause checklist
- Field check or test plan
- Corrective-action options and priorities
- Verification record and prevention follow-up
