Course Overview
Every organization faces recurring issues, but without proper analysis, the same problems reappear. This Root Cause Analysis and Problem-Solving Techniques Training Course provides participants with the knowledge and tools to uncover underlying causes, eliminate them, and design effective long-term solutions.
The course introduces problem-solving models such as the 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagram, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and other structured approaches. Through real-world case studies and practical exercises, participants will learn to diagnose problems systematically, prevent recurrence, and foster continuous improvement.
By the end of this program, attendees will be equipped to lead root cause analysis initiatives and build organizational resilience through effective problem-solving.
