These four steps cover all phases of the occurrence investigation process. Thus, Kepner-Tregoe can be used for more than causal factor analysis. Separate worksheets (provided by Kepner-Tregoe) provide a specific focus on each of the four basic steps and consist of step-by-step procedures to aid in the analyses. This systematic approach prevents overlooking any aspect of concern. As formal Kepner-Tregoe training is needed for those using this method, a further description is not included in this book.
