Being able to understand in detail the root cause of a particular event or occurrence is, without doubt, is an essential requirement for key business employees, including Nominated Persons (Post Holders), Business Area Managers, as well as Quality & Safety Managers.
It is only when we achieve the best possible understanding of Root Cause can we then consider how to develop the appropriate solution (mitigation) and to consider the best practice processes for the management and development of procedures.
This course is designed to help you focus on effective identification of root cause analysis and promotion of positive action and to be able to place a clear priority on best practice management within a strong quality assurance “compliance-based” system.
Develop an understanding of the various techniques to focus on the root of organisational issues and consider methodologies to connect root cause to the associated organization element.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- To re-enforce a comprehensive understanding of the requirements for both the QA & SMS systems including an understanding of the different types of audit applicable for each area and how to identify discrepancies. - To understand methodology to determine root cause and develop appropriate responses. - To consider the fundamentals of a fully compliant Aviation Quality System together with the key elements required to deliver maximum effectiveness. - How to identify areas which need special attention and how to focus our efforts on making sure we have a comprehensive understanding of multiple root causes. - An essential element then of benefiting from this training is to focus on the issues, how they relate in our work place, and what we need to do to address them. - The intention of this training is not to tick the regulatory box but to identify the significant issues which need to be addressed. - To be able to identify the root cause of the faults and failures. - To be able to apply the corrective actions for preventing the recurrence of the causes leading to failures. - Will learn how to apply the RCA techniques based on case studies and/or simulated scenarios which will allow reinforcing of the key concepts. - Will be able to produce a final report containing the main contributing factors and recommendations.
