Calculate the cost of poor quality attributable to problem classification by root cause.
Building Systems to Classify Problems by Their Shared Root Causes
Build a working method for problem classification by root cause that stands up to scrutiny and survives daily pressure.
Course Overview
Inspection catches problems in problem classification by root cause; it does not prevent them. A quality system for root cause that exists only for the auditor produces paperwork, not quality. It establishes a shared vocabulary for this aspect of quality and productivity management so that teams can disagree productively about it. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about problem classification by root cause in their own setting. Where the quality and productivity management discipline is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. A common pattern is strong design of root cause paired with weak follow-through. The content is relevant to those who own problem classification by root cause and to those who are held accountable for its results. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to root cause in an order their organisation can absorb. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this aspect of quality and productivity management that would make a visible difference.

Root cause: mapping the process as actually performed
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Auditing root cause to improve it, not to pass
