Root Cause Analysis (RCA) – 3 Day Course

Complete a project following the 8D Roadmap and apply appropriate methods to solve a problem with unknown cause. A coach will be your guide as needed.

The RCA concepts will help you identify answers to the following questions:

  • How many problems are encountered each year? How many seem to recur?
  • How many have unknown cause? How many have known cause?
  • Is a team created to solve them? Does the team use a structured process?

This program is for individuals, teams and organizations that desire to institutionalize an operating system for structured problem-solving.

Learning Objectives:

  • Know what to do when problems occur.
  • Define, validate and decide if the problem should be solved.
  • Use a team approach and understand team dynamics.
  • Take appropriate interim actions.
  • Choose the most appropriate RCA methods for the situation.
  • Determine and implement the best sustainable solution.
