Fundamentals
AVAILABLE VIA LIVE STREAM
The 1-Day Fundamentals of Root Cause Analysis & Problem Solving training course teaches key problem-solving techniques that will yield implementation of effective corrective actions.
The course provides the skills to look for underlying causes of problems that impact an organization’s operations and ultimately its profitability.
By performing exercises and group discussions, attendees will develop a hands-on understanding that will facilitate the uncovering of true root causes of problems and the implementation of meaningful corrective actions to help the organization improve.
Learning Objectives
By the end of the course, participants should have attained knowledge and understanding of the following concepts:
- The steps to properly solve a problem, whether a manufacturing or service problem
- Detail overview of tools used for root cause analysis identification, including:
- Brainstorming
- The 5 Whys
- Cause & Effect Analysis
- How to formulate immediate and long-term actions, to address the root causes and prevent the original problem from reoccurring
- Checking effectiveness of actions taken
