Sponsoring RCA Investigations

What is Root Cause Analysis (RCA)? What can RCA accomplish for an organization? As a manager what should you expect from a RCA investigation? What role do you play in that RCA team’s success? What would a successful RCA investigation look like? These are some of the questions this workshop seeks to answer.

The audience for this workshop would be midlevel managers of continuous or batch process manufacturing plants that might be called upon to sponsor a RCA investigation of an incident in their facility.
