Solve the Problem at Its Source: Master Root Cause Analysis

Ever fixed a problem… only to see it come back again?

That’s often a sign that we solved the symptom, not the root cause.

Root Cause Analysis is one of the most powerful skills in process improvement. It helps you go beyond quick fixes and uncover what is really causing waste, defects, errors, and inefficiencies.

What will you learn?

In this training, you’ll discover how to:

• Look beyond the symptoms and identify the real causes behind problems.
• Analyze problems systematically, using facts and evidence rather than assumptions.
• Avoid ineffective “quick fixes” that can create even more waste.
• Use Root Cause Analysis as a key part of effective Lean problem-solving and A3 thinking.

You’ll get a practical introduction to three essential Root Cause Analysis methods:

• 5 Whys — keep asking “Why?” until you get to the underlying cause.
• Fishbone Diagram — explore and organize the possible causes of a problem.
• Pareto Chart — focus your efforts on the causes that have the biggest impact.

The goal isn’t simply to fix problems faster. It’s to learn how to solve them smarter — and make sure they stay solved.
