Course Overview

Recurring problems cost organizations time, money, and reputation. This intensive training provides participants with the practical tools and methodologies needed to identify the true root causes of issues and implement effective, lasting solutions. Using globally recognized Root Cause Analysis (RCA) frameworks, learners will build competency in structured problem-solving, from accurate problem definition through to preventive action and follow-up. Ideal for quality and operational professionals seeking to elevate their troubleshooting and continuous improvement capabilities.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Accurately define and scope quality and process-related problems using structured techniques.
  • Differentiate between symptoms and root causes.
  • Apply RCA tools such as 5 Whys, Ishikawa (Fishbone) Diagrams, and Pareto Analysis.
  • Facilitate problem-solving sessions using data and team-based approaches.
  • Design and implement effective Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) aligned with root causes.
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of implemented actions and document lessons learned for organizational knowledge retention.
  • Integrate RCA within broader Quality Management and Continuous Improvement systems.
