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

Zoom meeting

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.

VMEC invites you to attend Industry 4.0 workshops and demos
Last month, The New England Regional Defense Industry Collaboration (NERDIC) kicked off an Industry 4.0 series of workshops to support competitive advantages and growth of our regional defense supply chain. For the next several weeks, they will continue to deliver this series of free readiness workshops and demonstrations to showcase how emerging technologies can be used to help optimize manufacturing processes in the New England defense manufacturing supply chain.
Join us each week to learn more about these technologies, including 3D printing, desk top metal studio systems and Additive Manufacturing processes. The overall aim is to help increase capability and competitiveness for the region’s defense manufacturers. View the complete schedule here and register for one or more workshops in the series!



Starting to think about ownership succession for your company? For many business owners, the best option is to sell to those already involved in the business, such as family members, managers, or the broader group of employees. In this 90-minute webinar, you will learn the basics of internal exit paths.
The event is co-sponsored by the RDCs of Vermont, Vermont Small Business Development Center, Vermont Employee Ownership Center, and VMEC, with funding from the Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development.
