Fundamental to any continuous improvement program is the ability to determine the root cause of an effect. Root cause is the fundamental, underlying reason for a problem.  The approach should be "Don't put a bandage on a problem; fix the issue permanently".

Root cause analysis involves - deploying methodologies to understand the root cause(s) of a problem and verify the same. 8D and A3 problem-solving are universally deployed approaches that are structured to identify and verify the root cause in a scientific manner.

This course will enable participants to understand root cause analysis as a procedure for ascertaining and analyzing the causes of problems in an effort to determine what can be done to solve or prevent them occurring again. RCA potentially leads to saving of time, money, and resources.

Keeping this in view, IMTMA is organizing an Online program on "Certified Specialist in Root Cause Analysis". This course is designed to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of how to analyze a system to identify the root causes of problems through the "Learning-By-Doing" methodology.

Participants will be working on real-time cases in their industry projects to build RCA approach.
