Root cause analysis and continuous improvement that keeps the answer.
Root-cause work usually starts from a blank page and leaves with the people who did it. Cyzag starts from the evidence, checks the fix held and keeps the answer.

How it works
How it works, in four steps.
- 1 A finding, a deviation or an idea opens an investigation in Cyzag.
- 2 The evidence and the likely cause are attached before the team starts.
- 3 The team works through its method; a named person approves the action.
- 4 The result is verified and the confirmed cause kept for next time.
- Cyzag Operations → Improve runs the workflow: five whys, fishbone, A3, PDCA, actions and the improvement funnel.
- Cyzag Intelligence → Proposes the likely cause with its evidence and similar past findings, and verifies the result after the fix.
- Read-only connections to your historian, MES and SAP
- Deployed on site or in your own tenant

Questions
What buyers ask us.
Which root-cause methods does it support?
Five whys, fishbone and A3, run inside PDCA, and set up to follow the method your site already uses.
Does the system decide the root cause?
No. Cyzag Intelligence proposes the most likely cause with its evidence and the alternatives it checked. Your people confirm or correct it, and only a confirmed cause is treated as the cause.
How do we know a fix worked?
The engine measures the unit against its baseline after the action is done. The result is recorded with the investigation.
Can we run improvement across many sites or ships?
Yes. Stolt Tankers runs one improvement system across 104 vessels, and PDCA activity tripled.
