Root Cause Analysis
This 1-day course teaches practical Root Cause Analysis techniques to identify and eliminate the underlying causes of equipment failures. Participants will learn tools like 5 Whys and Fishbone Diagrams to prevent recurring issues and improve reliability.
Description
This 1-day course provides practical skills in Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to identify and address equipment failures. Designed for maintenance engineers, technicians, and quality professionals, it equips participants with tools to prevent recurring issues.
Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a critical tool for identifying the underlying causes of equipment failures and operational incidents, preventing recurrence and improving reliability. Root Cause Analysis is a 1-day course designed to equip professionals with the skills to conduct RCA effectively in industries like manufacturing, construction, and utilities. The course covers RCA methodologies, such as 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagrams, and Fault Tree Analysis, tailored to maintenance and operational challenges.
Participants will learn to collect data, analyse failures, and develop corrective actions to address root causes systematically. The course addresses challenges like incomplete data, team collaboration, and implementation barriers, providing strategies to ensure thorough investigations. It emphasizes linking RCA findings to long-term reliability improvements.
Interactive exercises guide participants in applying RCA techniques to real-world scenarios, while case studies highlight successful RCA applications. The course is ideal for professionals seeking to reduce downtime, enhance safety, and improve process efficiency through systematic problem-solving.
By the end, attendees will be equipped to conduct RCA, implement corrective actions, and prevent recurring issues, contributing to operational reliability and cost savings.
