Back in 1990’s driving was a pleasure on American Roads. Many evenings were spent going on a long drive enjoying the pleasure of driving the car on smooth and light traffic highways. People used to drive 50 miles every night just to put a child to sleep. Gas was cheap, traf

BMTC Issues - From RCA perspective

8 February 2010 - 7:35pm — Bheema.Upadhyaya

Getting a cue from this suvery I thought why not analyse (to some extent) from Root Cause Analysis perspective of TQM (Total Quality Management)? According to RCA we should find further causes of further levels.

So I am trying to just draft out whatever I think. Some of these may be just my imaginations or may feel too theoritical, as we can not understand issues from driver and conductors perspective. I am of hope that this may create some leads towards solutions not any solution as such.

I am imagining survey Question as effects. However I am not analyzing any one from survey questions. But I am taking another simple effect ie, Buses not stopping in bus stops. This creates difficulties for a passenger, specially big problems for kids, pregnant ladies, senior citizens.

I am trying to categorize each cause for better quantification.

Effect -

Buses not stopping in easy reach of waiting passengers in bus shelter

Causes -

Why Belgaum and not Bangalore?

8 February 2010 - 1:02pm — belgaumblog

One of the most common questions I – as an entrepreneur – get is: “Why did you choose Belgaum? Why not Bangalore?”. Yes. It is true that Bangalore has established itself as the IT hub aka the Silicon Valley of India. Indeed, Bangalore today is known the world over for the IT presence in the city and not the numerous gardens it hosts. So why did I choose Belgaum?
