Distinguish the parts of root cause analysis methods that must be standardised from those that require judgement.
Building Root Cause Analysis Methods for Recurring Problems
A working programme in root cause analysis methods for managers who have to deliver with existing resources.
Course Overview
Inspection catches problems in root cause analysis methods; it does not prevent them. A quality system for analysis methods that exists only for the auditor produces paperwork, not quality. Most organisations already have a policy on this strand of quality and productivity management; far fewer can show it working. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what root cause analysis methods has actually achieved. It suits anyone whose decisions touch this part of quality and productivity management, in large organisations and small ones alike. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in analysis methods that were visible long before the incident. Participants test their assumptions about root cause analysis methods against scenarios designed to break weak ones. The course sets out a working method for analysis methods that participants can apply the week they return. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this strand of quality and productivity management that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
