Root Cause Problem Solving

Introduction

This training program provides participants with the concept of root cause analysis and problem solving techniques. Implementing solutions without getting to the true root cause is a waste of money, time and resources. Traditional approach begin with limited info, many actions and lacking focus. Our approach focus on finding the true root cause before proceeding with actions.
