Introduction
This 2-day intensive RCA training programme is specially customized to meet training needs of the Logistics Sector in upgrading Senior Management’s capability to meet present and future challenges by applying effective techniques to solve problems.
Root Cause Analysis is a group of techniques developed for the Nuclear Regulatory Board of the United States for solving problems due to Quality, Safety and Pollution. Used correctly, Root Cause Analysis can be both proactive and reactive.
The techniques have beeen extended to the ISO 9000 (2000), ISO 18000 and ISO 14001 standards, and will become in the near future, an essential tool for certification to these standards. Root Cause Analysis is a team-based activity.
Root Cause Analysis is often regarded as a misunderstood activity and made to be similar to traditional problem solving which it is really not. Its goal is to eliminate problems by finding the root cause, which may often be a system, procedurals or human problem.
Methodology
Course methodology includes a combination of Pre and Post Course Assessment, and Classroom sessions; On Job Training, LCD projector, video presentation as well as work-related application, Real Case Study of Logistics Management problems. Real life Projects and Processes will be used to achieve highest level of efficiency and training quality.
Objective
The principal objective of this programme is to equip the participants with an understanding of the tools and to be able to use them to resolve problems by searching in an organized manner the root causes. Root causes are the fundamental causes that need to be addressed in total prevention of the recurrence of the problems.
Participants attending will acquire the following:-
- Raise their problem awareness
- Know What is Root Cause Analysis
- Grasp the need for Proactiveness
- Be able to use the tools of Root Cause Analysis
- Enhance their performance
- Contribute positively to the company activities
