Root cause Analysis and Tools
Course Description:
Problem-solving is an essential part of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). Good problem-solving skills can help you identify and correct problems quickly before they cause serious damage. By understanding the root causes of problems, you can implement lasting solutions that will improve your organization's overall efficiency.
This course provides you with an overview of Root Cause Analysis, including when to use the technique and the steps involved. The course also includes 5Whys, Cause and Effect Analysis and Casual Factor Charting all of which are tools that can help identify the Root Cause of a Problem.
The Five Why's is a simple yet powerful tool for finding a problem's root cause. It is based on the principle that every problem has a root cause, and that by asking ""why"" five times, you can identify the real cause of the problem.
Causal Factor Charting is a tool that can be used to identify the causes of a problem. It involves mapping out the different factors that contribute to the problem, and then identifying which of these factors are the most important.
Cause and Effect Analysis is a tool that can be used to identify the causes and effects of a problem. It involves identifying all of the possible causes of a problem and testing each one to see if it is the cause. Cause and Effect Analysis can be used to identify the root cause of a problem.

Course Content(s)
Root Cause Analysis (TBRC0102)
This module on Root Cause Analysis (RCA) provides you with an overview of RCA, including when to use the technique and the steps involved. When trying to identify and fix problems in a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) environment, Root Cause Analysis (RCA) can be a powerful and useful tool. It is a structured process used to identify the underlying cause of a problem.
The 5 WHYs technique (TB5W0102)
This module covers the fundamentals of the 5 whys technique used as a problem-solving tool in GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice). The 5 Whys technique involves asking why 5 times to get to the root cause of a problem. It is a simple and effective way to find the root cause of a problem. The 5 whys is a powerful tool because it can help to ensure that problems are quickly and effectively resolved.
Cause and Effect Analysis (TBCE0101)
This module provides a basic understanding of what is, how to use and when to use the Cause-and-Effect Analysis tool. The Cause-and-Effect analysis tool is useful in the Good Manufacturing Environment (GMP) as it helps you identify all potential factors contributing to a specific problem. Then, each factor is thoroughly investigated to find the causes related to the problem.
Causal Factor Charting (TBCG0101)
Causal factor charting is a tool that helps identify the causes of a specific problem and find ways to avoid its reoccurrence in the future. This module provides a detailed insight into how and when you can use Causal factor charting to identify and resolve or eliminate the actual cause of any problem that you may encounter at work.
