The natural tendency of many individuals and organisations when presented with a problem is to jump to a solution, any solution. They do not systematically analyse the problem to determine a root cause before considering potential solutions.
Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a technique used to understand and eliminate the underlying cause of a problem, in order to prevent it from reoccurring.
In this Root Cause Analysis Training, a structured way of root cause analysis will be covered. A step by step approach will be taken, with the use of several well-known quality tools for data collection and analysis will be used.
Analysing for root cause will take longer time in the beginning, but there is a high return on the investment as the firefighting is reduced in correlation with permanently eliminating issues.
Who Should Attend
- The training is beneficial for Managers, Quality Professionals, Process Owners and Consultants looking to use a structured approach for problem solving in their work.
- Organisations who want to take a problem elimination approach and move away from firefighting.
