What Is Root Cause Analysis and Why It Matters at WorkYour Complete Problem-Solving Toolkit

Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Training in Canada is a practical, one-day programme that teaches you to look past the symptoms of a problem and find the underlying cause that lets it keep happening. Root cause analysis is a structured problem-solving discipline used across quality management, Six Sigma, Lean, health and safety and IT service management to investigate defects, failures and incidents and stop them recurring.

This instructor-led course equips quality engineers, operations managers, process improvement practitioners and team leaders across Canada with a full RCA toolkit: the 5 Whys, the Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagram, Fault Tree Analysis, FMEA, Pareto analysis and the 8D problem-solving method. You learn to define a problem precisely, gather evidence, choose the right tool for the situation, and build corrective actions that hold.

RCA sits at the heart of ISO 9001:2015 corrective action (Clause 10.2) and the Analyse phase of Six Sigma DMAIC, so the skills apply immediately in any sector. This is a non-certification skills course. On completion you receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning and capabilities you can put to work the next day.
