The Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Training Course is designed to teach the fundamentals of resolving problems through cross-functional teamwork.  When it comes to solving those difficult problems, the best results are obtained when operations and maintenance staff work on the problems together.
Most individuals and teams, when faced with plant problems, tend to apply a ‘ready, fire, aim’ approach to problem solving as they look for fast solutions to minimise disruption. This tends to cause unstructured and ill-directed searches for solutions. In some cases the problem is not resolved, and is moved to another area or is covered up to reappear with a vengeance at a later date.
The Asset Partnership’s Root Cause Analysis is a Forensic Engineering process specifically designed for industrial plant where the normal variations in plant performance are understood and managed but a process is required to quickly and systematically define the ‘special’ cause and develop a viable and permanent set of solutions for the deviation.
The key objectives of this 2-day problem solving training course, titled “Forensic Engineering” , are to:

• Teach the elements of Forensic Engineering Analysis and problem solving, based on a common language and understanding of Special Cause variations;
• Develop an understanding of the nature of problems and their effects;
• Use the techniques to resolve real plant problems and to seek a real financial payback;
• Integrate these new methods into everyday activities; and
• Introducing participants to facilitation skills required to ensure successful application of the techniques to realise the best outcome.

Participants in this RCA Training Course are often asset operators and maintainers, engineers and improvement facilitators.
