Course Summary

To maximize reliability and availability of assets against minimum costs, problems need to be solved fast and effectively, as well as permanently prevented in the future. However, “jumping to conclusions”, “trial and error” and “jumping to solutions” are well known pitfalls in daily practice. In this rapid changing world, with trends like Industry 4.0, robotics, big data, machine-learning, etc., complex problem solving is recognized as the most important skill in future jobs.

This Innovative Root Cause Analysis (IRCA) training course will give you the knowledge and skills to prioritize, describe, analyse, solve and prevent all problems, regardless the complexity. The comprehensive and scalable RATIO-approach and innovative RATIO-methods like Event Mapping, Problem Analysis and Human Factor Analysis are recognized by many as best practice.

This GLOMACS Innovative Root Cause Analysis (IRCA) training course will highlight:

  • The increasing relevance of root cause analysis methods
  • A comprehensive and generic approach for every problem to solve and prevent
  • Innovative and highly effective methods to support this approach e.g. Event Mapping, Problem Analysis and Human Factor Analysis
  • An extensive list of practical ideas for effective application and implementation of RCA in daily practice
