In an era of mountains of data, traditional root cause analysis (RCA) methods like 5-Whys and Fishbone Diagrams can struggle to help you pinpoint process issues. Modern problems—whether reducing product defects, preventing process bottlenecks, or curbing customer churn—demand advanced approaches that can handle the complexity of interdependent causes.
This 3-week live masterclass is designed for quality managers, process engineers, Six Sigma practitioners, and continuous improvement professionals ready to go beyond the basics and tackle complex challenges with confidence. You’ll learn advanced RCA techniques like regression analysis and decision trees, explore real-world case studies from industries like manufacturing and healthcare, and gain hands-on practice through interactive exercises.
With 60-day access to EngineRoom, our powerful statistical analysis software, you’ll have the tools to analyze data, uncover hidden patterns, and move from reactive problem-solving to predictive insights that prevent issues before they arise.
