When do you conduct a prospective analysis?

These kind of analyses are often conducted on high risk processes. Based on the data you have gathered in the RMS, you can select the most occurring types of (near) incidents and see which in processes they manifest.
Because of the labor intensiveness of this in-depth analyses, prospective analyses might happen only a couple of times of year. But the outcome may lead to towards great improvements in quality. And TPSC Anticipate helps you achieve just that.

What are the steps TPSC Anticipate helps me to take?

The options menu on the left of the opening screen is your guide. Besides taking 5 steps, you can gather project info and attach minutes and other documents to the analysis. Then you follow the menu:

Step 1: Define the topic

What are you going to analyze? Select carefully. Spend time to clearly define what you are going to study.

Step 2: Select the team members

Gather the people into a task force. Define the roles and try to get different disciplines together for the different perspectives. Send out invitations.

Step 3: Describe the process

Visualize it and use the graphic tools, like flow charts. Make distinctions between processes and sub processes. If necessary, limit your focus.

Step 4: Conduct the actual risk analysis

Start seeking/listing potential failure modes and put them in the work page. Use the cause and effect diagrams. Classify outcomes based on severity and probability and develop a risk matrix. Slowly you will start to discover the failure mode causes.

Step 5: Actions and outcomes

Now it is time for action! Develop proposals and assign tasks to people. What will be your corrective measures? Transfer improvement actions into TPSC Improve, so there will be a full overview of all running improvement proposals and activities.
