Root Cause Analysis

Root Cause Analysis

Don’t put a bandage on a problem; fix the issue permanently. Root cause is the fundamental, underlying reason for a problem. This course allows you to identify the cause of a problem, solve it, and prevent it from occurring again. This saves your organization time, money, and resources.

This course will enable participants to understand root cause analysis as a procedure for ascertaining and analyzing the causes of problems in an effort to determine what can be done to solve or prevent them. Consisting of lectures, practice, and role-playing, this course is designed to provide attendees with an in-depth understanding of how to analyze a system to identify the root causes of problems.

Learning Objectives:

  • Enhance problem solving effectiveness by providing a model for more deeply analyzing problem situations.
  • Clarify the difference between analytical and creative thinking, and when each is most useful.
