Overview of the webinar

While the six-sigma DMAIC model is widely used by organizations, it is significant overkill for most corrective action situations. Each organization therefore needs something better suited to that application, and there are several widely used methods.However, the more appropriate one will depend on the situation, such as how complex the problem is, the levels of depth and breadth to be applied, and who will be carrying out the activity.This webinar will review the three most popular methods: 5-whys, A3 thinking, and the 8-Discipline problem solving model. It will demonstrate the similarities and differences, as well as how & when to use each.This calls for understanding the differences between correction and corrective action, physical and system causes, and how prevention, detection and prediction errors create the problems for which corrective action is being applied. 

These methodologies are relevant for any corrective action process, whether it be related to complaints, nonconforming products or processes, audit findings, deviations, etc and especially for management systems for quality (ISO 9001, IATF 16949), health & safety (ISO 45001), environmental management (ISO 14001), information technology services management (ISO 20001) and more. 

Who should attend?

  • Managers of quality management
  • Health & safety management
  • Environmental management
  • IT service management
  • Corrective action coordinators 
  • ISO management representatives
  • Problem solving facilitators
  • Root cause analysts 

Why should you attend?

Organizations who must carry out a corrective action process usually have a procedure, but the procedures do not provide adequate knowledge required to effectively carry out a root cause analysis and solution implementation.  Additionally, many organizations use the same process, regardless of the level of complexity, whether or not the desire to get to the actual root cause, or whether they are focused primarily on errors in prevention vs. detection vs. prediction errors. 

Three common problem-solving tools are available to help deal with this, including 5-whys, A3 thinking, and the 8 Discipline problem solving model.  This webinar will cover these three methods and how they can be viewed as a hierarchy and integrated to provide more meaningful guidance and documentation for corrective actions.
