Course Introduction
Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a critical process for identifying the underlying causes of problems, preventing recurrence, and improving system reliability. Advanced techniques like Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and the Fishbone diagram allow for more in-depth investigations, providing organizations with the tools they need to solve complex issues. Properly applying these methods helps organizations reduce downtime, enhance product quality, and optimize operational efficiency.
This training program provides participants with an in-depth understanding of advanced RCA techniques and how to apply them in real-world scenarios. From FTA to FMEA, participants will learn the step-by-step process of performing thorough root cause investigations and how to use data analysis for continuous improvement.
Course objective
