DESCRIPTION:
Problem solving and root cause analysis is needed in all quality systems regardless of the quality system you are using. The success of any quality system depends on how effective the problem solving process is in identifying the real root causes, and finding the most effective solutions. The same problem solving tools have been in use for the past 30 years, like Six-Sigma, Total Quality Management, ISO 9000, and other quality improvement programs. Now is the time to explore a new way, revolutionize your problem solving techniques, or use more effective methods to identify the root causes. It is the time to move from the traditional methods that consume time and resources, to lean and powerful problem solving techniques. You will learn new ways of thinking and communicating that will ensure effective and implementable solutions almost every time.
