Vermont Manufacturing Extension Center.

 


Root Cause Analysis – The Structures of Problem Solving 

 
If you’ve been seeking a way to lead your organization to reduced downtime, increased production and a more proactive culture, this is for you!
 
Thursdays, June 3, 10 and 17
1:00 - 3:30 pm
Zoom meeting
$325 per person  
 
Root Cause Analysis teaches a systematic process for identifying “root causes” of problems and an approach for responding to them. It helps organizations avoid the tendency to single out one factor to arrive at the fastest resolution. It also helps to avoid treating symptoms rather than actual, underlying problems that contribute to the real problem.
 
Outcomes of this valuable approach include helping you and your team Identify barriers and the causes of problems so that effective solutions can be found, developing a logical approach to problem-solving using data that already exists in your company, identifying current and future needs for organizational improvement and much more! 
 
In the most basic sense, you will define the problem, gather the information, data & evidence, identify all issues that contributed to the problem, determine root causes and lastly, identify recommendations for corrective actions that eliminate the recurrence of problems.
