About this course

This practical course is aimed at the front-line teams who must be able to do basic root cause analysis on fairly straightforward problems, with a quick turnaround time. Although it is also based on the DMAIC steps, the main focus is on the problem definition, the cause-affect analysis and on verifying potential causes.

“If I had an hour to solve a problem, I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about the solution.” Albert Einstein

This course is aimed at front line operational problem solving where the problem can be solved by an individual or small team within a period of 1-14 days.

The image below shows the flow of each module, distinguishing between the LMS work, contact session work and the workplace assignments.

The contact sessions follow on the elearning sessions and are transformed into dynamic, interactive sessions focussing on real examples and application of knowledge.

Outcomes

At the end of this course learners will be able to:

Explain the three categories of problems and how they are resolved in the world of maintenance

Explain how the daily meeting structure facilitates and controls problem solving

Explain the steps in the process of RCA

Define problems clearly using the 5W1H technique

Collect and interpret information to ensure fact-based RCA

Identify possible causes of the problem without jumping to conclusions

Verify and eliminate possible causes that are not feasible

Apply cause-effect analysis to find the root causes of the problem

Select, motivate and implement the best solution
