Problem Solving with Root Cause Analysis

(in-person program held in Altoona, PA)

What is Root Cause Analysis?

When you pull weeds out of your yard or garden, what happens when you don’t get the roots? The weeds grow back. Likewise, when we solve a problem only at a symptom level, not at the root, the problem keeps coming back. Root Cause Analysis is a method to properly identify, define, analyze, and solve a problem at its root.

Webinar: Improve Root Cause Analysis Effectiveness through On-the-Job Micro-Learning

A workforce of skilled root-cause analysis (RCA) practitioners is every manager’s dream. A possibility which is often stifled by the reality of the many hours of training required for a positive impact. Imagine if we could cut traditional training time by greater than 75% to the first responders.  These are the operators who are crucial to your team; are best placed to trouble shoot and collect evidence before it is destroyed. They are also the ones who are most difficult to take off-line for weeks at a time.

“Micro MBAs” and “Nano Universities” geared for office professionals are designed to reduce the time traditionally needed to fulfill learning requirements.  Taking a page from these “Micro-Learning” techniques, Kepner-Tregoe has designed a training solution that keeps crucial operators on-the-job while they learn. An approach that offers a path for your operators to work towards RCA mastery at a much faster pace.

Join us February 22 as we discuss how to implement operator micro learning and the latest cloud based solutions for daily management practices that allow you and your workforce to address root cause in real-time. Discover the components of a multi-disciplined daily management system that includes items such as escalating morning meetings, operator standard work, leader role modelling via daily walks, simple reporting templates and even phone based apps providing prompts, guidance and governance in the palm of your hand.

Takeaways:

  • Daily Management meeting templates, agendas, pitfalls
  • RCA templates for different levels of problems
  • Project plans for executing daily management and simple RCA
  • Tips on setting up a cloud based platform to maximize adoption and monitor compliance
