Anyone working in the food manufacturing industry where products will eventually reach consumers knows that ensuring the quality and safety of those products is essential. If you only fix the surface-level symptoms of a problem, that problem can return and will need to be managed repeatedly. When that problem relates to food safety or quality, this can be both a costly and dangerous practice.
Root cause analysis (RCA) requires you to look past these symptoms to determine why they occur – their root cause. Only by identifying and implementing action to manage the root cause of a problem can you ensure that it will not reoccur in the future, breaking the cycle of short-term fixes. This course is designed for individuals in the food manufacturing industry who are responsible for carrying out root cause analysis procedures in their workplace or are interested in learning how to investigate and implement lasting solutions to food safety and quality problems to prevent those problems from reoccurring. The techniques covered in this course are the 5 Whys Technique, the Fishbone Diagram and the 8D Process.
