Training

Re-train the Operator? The typical response for corrective action is to retain the operator. If that doesn’t work, it is time to hold another Root Cause Analysis Course.

• Tired of “Solving” the same problem over and over?
• Overwhelmed with corrective action responses?

The real problem with the typical corrective action training class is that after the class everyone goes back to doing what they were doing before the class.

Learn the techniques to really identify the root cause(s) and solve the problem with root cause analysis training! A checklist provided in the Root Cause Analysis Course assists you in learning the approach to answering a 7-step corrective action process and assist you and your classmates long after the class is complete.

• Customer satisfaction of the software product, as defined by functionality, usability, reliability, performance, and serviceability.
• Customer satisfaction of the software project, as defined by on-time, on-budget and the contracted system requirements.
