Effective root cause analysis is both a regulatory expectation and a valuable tool for business improvement. More and more life science organisations are creating a deep RCA culture and working environment to improve their processes and reduce the number of non-conformities.
This training course sets out a systematic and structured approach for determining the most likely root cause of a problem or non-conformance. It will provide you with a range common tools used during root cause identification such as brainstorming, Ishikawa diagrams and process maps. The key steps in root cause analysis are explained using practical examples supporting your understanding. You will also learn the common pitfalls in root cause analysis.
With the Educo Post Learning Implementation Plan (PLIP) you will have the framework to apply and implement the knowledge acquired in the training, supporting you in your development.
