PROGRAM'S BACKGROUND


Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a structured, team based, analytical approach that when used correctly can alleviate recurring problems within an organization. In this program, participants will learn to apply several practical, systematic methods for analyzing incidents and problems to uncover root causes. Understanding of these techniques will be reinforced by exercises as we explore effective ways of gathering data for root cause analysis and how to determine which problems should be analyzed. We will also discuss how to design, develop, and implement a root cause analysis program for your organization.

This program is designed to teach the attendees how to use three of the most popular and useful problem solving techniques available today and Five Whys, Logic Trees, and Causal Factor Mapping. Class lecture will be reinforced with numerous practice opportunities, so the attendees will feel comfortable going back to the job and attacking chronic plant problems and incidents right away.
