What is Root Cause Investigation and Analysis?
Root Cause Investigation and Analysis is a systematic and methodical process of identifying the underlying causes or factors that contribute to an incident, problem, or failure within an organisation or system. It aims to go beyond immediate causes and surface-level symptoms to identify the fundamental causes that, when addressed, can prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
Course Overview?
An interactive virtual workshop, designed for those who need to manage, undertake or understand how to conduct effective Root Cause investigation and analysis. The course will provide an overview of the regulatory framework and frequently used root cause analysis techniques. Common principles for effective root cause analysis will be highlighted and applied to real world scenarios. The delegates will practice the identification of root cause(s) including the evaluation of containment, corrective and preventive actions. The course will use case studies from occurrences and audit findings. The content of the course is closely aligned with the UK CAA CAP 1760 ‘Effective Problem Solving and Root Cause Identification’ guidance material.
The workshop will be beneficial to Managers, Nominated Postholders, Quality, Safety, & Compliance Monitoring Managers, auditors/inspectors, and those who need to have the necessary competence to conduct effective root cause identification and appropriate containment, corrective and preventive actions.
The course is suitable for participants from all areas of the aviation industry and Civil Aviation Authorities.
This training course will include the following topics:
- Regulatory requirements for root cause analysis.
- Root cause methodologies
- CAP1760 and its application
- Understanding and defining the problem
- Application of root cause analysis
- Taking suitable containment, corrective and preventive actions
