This topic will touch on investigations whether they are post-Audit, Deviation related, Complaints, etc. It will transition into determination of RCA, the many tools used during RCA & what they really are and how to use them to greater effect.
An emphasis will be placed on a notion that there is "No such thing as Human Error", and why the possibility of Human Error should not be considered when conducting any RCA. There will also be mention of CAPA and why Training is never enough to be considered a true CAPA.
Course Objectives:
• Relevant inspection steps in relation to Root Cause
• How to use RCA to better effect
• What RCA tools really are and their place in RCA
• Why Human Error doesn't exist
• How to use your RCA to formulate better CAPAs
Why Should You Attend:
RCA is typically used as a reactive method of identifying event causes, revealing problems and solving them. Analysis is done after an event has occurred. Insights in RCA may make it useful as a pro-active method. In that event, RCA can be used to forecast or predict probable events even before they occur. While one follows the other, RCA is a completely separate process to Incident Management.
Attend this training if you are dealing with deviations, non-conformances, a high error rate, a low yield rate, a high number of RCA assessments determined to be due to Human Error. And any company that finds repeat non-conformances despite the RCA or CAPA used.
