references on root cause analysis

[magoo2]

Can you suggest any particularly good references that deal with root cause analysis? Most of my involvement is with transmission and distribution equipment used by electric utilities.

I know there's the references for the power engineer, but this is a little different. Actually many of the posts here deal with root cause analyses, so I'm sure there may be some nuggets out there.

Surely someone out there can suggest a decent book on root cause analysis!

"Electrical power equipment maintenance and testing" By Paul Gill, has a short section on root cause analysis. In general the "ask why five times" method works pretty well. Is there a more specific subject you are looking for?
