COURSE OVERVIEW
Root Cause Analysis of Systems Failure Training In-Depth course brings together important concepts from engineering, quality assurance, problem-solving, procurement, and other disciplines to identify and eliminate the root causes of failures occurring in complex systems, subsystems, and components. The Root Cause Analysis of Systems Failure In-Depth course emphasizes the development and implementation of a failure analysis methodology for use throughout the organization.
We will show you how to utilize brainstorming, Ishikawa diagrams, mind mapping, and fault tree analysis for identifying potential failure causes. We will also equip you with procedures and technologies for working through various types of system failures. You will learn how hardware analysis, statistical analysis, design of experiments, technical data package evaluation, and other pertinent tools and techniques can be brought together to define potential root failure causes and to develop a plan for evaluating these causes.
The Root Cause Analysis of Systems Failure Training In-Depth course presents corrective action alternatives and a framework for selecting optimal intermediate and longer-term corrective actions. The course utilizes real-life case studies to help you apply this toolkit effectively to your job. At the end of the Root Cause Analysis of Systems Failure In-Depth course, you will have learned how to identify dominant failure modes through quantity and cost-based Pareto analyses, identify the root causes of systems failures, select and implement effective corrective actions, and work as an inter-organizational, multi-disciplinary failure analysis team.
