Root Cause Investigation for CAPA is a globally recognized methodology for investigating technical performance challenges. Problem-solving techniques from Six Sigma, 8D, Kaizen, DMAIC, TQM, and others are leveraged to identify:

  • The change that occurred resulting in performance decline.
  • Failures that allowed the change to occur.
  • Restoration of performance to previous levels or requirements.
  • Monitor and prevent recurrence.

Participants are introduced to the methodology one step at a time. After each step is presented leveraging an instructor case study, the participants immediately apply the methodology on a real-life case study. Upon review of the entire methodology, participants have the option to continue to develop their skills through practice on another more complex real-life case study.

Participants are provided a training manual, an investigation roadmap, and a set of electronic templates that guide them through the methodology, recommend tools, and establish the basis for documentation.
