Summary
Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) is a process used to resolve or reduce failures by first identifying the cause of the failure and then choosing the best set of corrective actions. Using RCFA minimises operational downtime and maximises productivity by preventing repeated or related failures.
This course provides you with a comprehensive framework to apply RCFA in your organisation. You will develop a practical tool set by examining a variety of problem-solving techniques and sustainable maintenance strategies. In addition, you will create a comprehensive action plan to successfully implement RCFA.
- Develop and implement an effective maintenance strategy for your organisation.
- Identify and analyse variables in the maintenance environment.
- Understand, assess, and optimise your maintenance operations.
- Execute a Root Cause Failure Analysis successfully.
- Leverage problem solving strategies appropriate for your organisational needs.
- Maintenance Engineers
- Operations Managers
- Quality Control professionals
- Anyone looking to understand the basis and application of RCFA
This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension.
Participants will review case studies to highlight key areas of importance and possible areas for faults.
They will be supplied with the best tools required to carry out learning exercises to improve their skills. Participants will analyse the examples to gain a thorough understanding of how these skills, techniques and methods apply in the workplace.
