COURSE OVERVIEW

Root Cause Analysis Training for Non-Engineers discusses the concepts behind root cause analysis methodology. Also, this hands-on seminar will teach you the methods and tools involved in root cause analysis. Since this training course is designed for individuals with no engineering background, the statistical and mathematical methods are developed accordingly. Root cause analysis training for non-engineers focuses on the non-industrial, non-engineering applications of root cause analysis such as health care, lab quality, business process, sales, marketing, etc.

Root cause analysis is the process of defining the problem, identifying the underlying causal factors, collecting data, analyzing the collected data, recommending solutions, selecting the best solution, implementing the solution, and monitoring the effect of the implemented solution on the system to evaluate if it was effective.
