Course objective
Formal Root Cause Analysis (RCA) processes have been adopted by many companies
throughout the world with demonstrable benefits. The purpose of this course is to introduce a
process for RCA and how we can apply it within condition monitoring work.
We will also study some techniques that have been developed to help get to the root cause of
issues. It is expected that these tools will be used from time to time by all of the people attending
the course.
At the end of this course you should:
• Be able to execute a RCA study
• Be confident in participating as a team member in a complex multi-disciplinary RCA study
• Understand and recognize RCA related business opportunities
