Overview

In the depths of every problem lies a root cause waiting to be realized. The RCA: Root Cause Analysis course is designed to provide learners with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of RCA, the process involved, and the tools required to conduct an effective RCA.

The RCA: Root Cause Analysis course begins with an introduction to RCA, explaining its significance in identifying and resolving underlying issues and problems affecting product or service quality. Learners will gain an understanding of the importance of RCA in improving organizational performance and preventing future occurrences of the same issue. The fundamentals of RCA will then be covered in detail, including its purpose, principles, and benefits. Learners will also be introduced to the different types of RCA, such as reactive, proactive, and predictive, and when each type is appropriate to use.

The RCA: Root Cause Analysis course will then dive into the process of RCA, which consists of six steps. These steps include defining the problem, collecting data, identifying possible causes, identifying root causes, identifying and implementing solutions, and monitoring controls. Each step will be explained in detail, along with examples and best practices. Several tools used to conduct an RCA will also be covered in the course, including Pareto charts, the 5 whys, fishbone diagrams, drill-down, FMEA, and issue/error logs. Learners will gain an understanding of when to use each tool and how to implement them effectively during the RCA process.

The RCA: Root Cause Analysis course will also touch on other points to consider during the RCA process, such as the importance of communication, involving the right people, and documenting the RCA process. Finally, the RCA: Root Cause Analysis course will cover the close-out phase of an RCA, which involves evaluating the effectiveness of the implemented solutions, documenting the RCA process, and sharing the findings with stakeholders.

Overall, the RCA: Root Cause Analysis course provides learners with the necessary knowledge and skills to conduct effective RCAs, improve organizational performance, and prevent future occurrences of similar issues.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Acquire a profound understanding of the RCA process, from problem definition to solution implementation.
  • Harness the power of analytical tools, including Pareto charts, 5 whys, and Fishbone Diagrams, to dissect and interpret complex issues.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
