Root cause analysis is at the core of many activities involved in managing and improving processes. Whether it’s corrective action for audit findings, technical problem solving related to equipment failures, or general process improvement, the ability to discern the reasons for variances in product and process performance is critical.
Unfortunately many individuals (and organizations) have a very limited view of how to analyze a system in order to identify the actual root causes. This in-depth, one-hour webinar will present a model for such a root cause analysis and six different approaches that can be used within it to significantly improve the probability of finding the actual root causes.
Course Agenda
- What is a root cause analysis?
- A powerful 10-step problem solving and root cause analysis model
- Three dimensions and six approaches for finding root causes
- How each approach is imbedded in the model
What You Will Learn
- Design, physical and variance methods of system analysis
- Why more than one approach is usually necessary
- Why visualization provides significant cognitive leverage
- When to stop drilling down for causes
