Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a structured team-based approach used to quickly discover the reasons problems occur and develop a sustainable solution to avoid recurrence. RCA is used whenever problems require immediate attention such as safety incidences, dissatisfied customers, product field failure, unscheduled downtime, or any situation where excessive delays are very costly. RCA applies to all businesses and industries. The 8D team-based approach is used as the roadmap for all the topics covered.

The Root Cause Analysis (RCA) concepts will help you identify answers to the following questions:

  • How many problems are encountered each year? How many seem to recur?
  • How many have unknown causes? How many have a known cause?
  • Is a team created to solve them? Does the team use a structured process?

Learning Objectives:

  • Know what to do when problems occur.
  • Define, validate and decide if the problem should be solved.
  • Use a team approach and understand team dynamics.
  • Take appropriate interim actions.
  • Choose the most appropriate RCA methods for the situation.
  • Determine and implement the best sustainable solution.
