Course Description: In most organizations there are procedures for performing a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to find out why a failure occurred, why an assist was needed, why an intervention was necessary or why the rescue of a product and/or process was required. Something went wrong and we need to discover the cause(s) so that actions can be taken to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Too often the problem/correction task is handed off to someone under the assumption that anyone can do Root Cause Analysis (RCA), simply follow the procedure. Yet based the 2020 AIAG/Deloitte study on the then Current State of Quality and Strategic Planning, it was discovered that inadequate Problem-solving was the #1 critical issue negatively impacting their capability. The move to remote working due to covid restrictions has only exacerbated the problem. There is a way to improve upon these results, and this workshop will highlight the needed steps. It is one thing to talk about what to do in order to correct the course, and it is another to actually do it in a real live dynamic organizational setting. There are hurdles and barriers that exist or will arise and may limit the progress toward the ideal goal of world class problem solving and causal analysis. It may be that all the desired changes are not possible, and this workshop will ensure that no matter what the scenario is, limitations. Barriers, etc., this material will allow significant improvement over the existing status quo. This workshop will lay out an optimum strategic plan and show the objectives and milestones that need to be completed to achieve the end goal. If the organization is not capable of making such high-level strategic changes, the workshop includes an approach on how to improve the organization’s capability using other methods. If the organization is operating in a nonproductive, or even counterproductive manner, the workshop will empower the attendee with the skills needed to be able to effectively and efficiently facilitate problem analysis and RCAs. The materials in this workshop are nonproprietary and are prescriptive by design. That is to say that rather than reviewing a collection of problem-solving tools and methods, the content is focused on a prescriptive approach that allows for the greatest efficiency and effectiveness. The facilitation skills shared in the workshop are transferable and can be applied to others domains and are recognized as career enhancing skills.
This is an interactive workshop, so attendees need to be prepared to take on the roles of facilitator at various times. The content is ADVANCED level.
