Programme Highlights
Failure Analysis of Mechanical & Structural System – Application of Root Cause Analysis Technique

Root Cause Analysis has now been widely adopted in the engineering field to assist in finding the cause(s) that leading to the occurrence of an incident, but many engineering practitioners find it difficult to determine the actual ROOT cause.  

In this talk, Ir Dr Lim will share with the audience the important techniques needed in a Root Cause Analysis, in particular, how to collect data following a major incident and the process in identification of the problem(s), and how one may apply the cause and effect principles to convert the data so collected into knowledge that one may apply to understand the factor(s) leading to the occurrence of an incident.   Some case studies will be presented to help explain the various steps involved in the investigation process.

Speaker
Ir Dr Eric C.H. Lim graduated with a B.Sc. (Hon) Degree in Mechanical Engineering form the University of Hong Kong.   He obtained his PhD Degree from the same department with research interest focusing on behaviour of materials.   He then worked as a full time consultant providing independent technical consulting services to the industry since 1996 and to date, he has completed more than 2500 investigations.  Over the years, he has been involved in the investigation of major engineering incidents in Hong Kong and Asia Pacific Region.  He also appeared as an expert witness in the Court of Laws of Hong Kong, Beijing as well as Macau on more than 300 cases.
