Root Cause Analysis Tip: Don’t Miss Out on Advanced Root Cause Analysis Training

Posted: May 22nd, 2013 in Courses, Pictures, Root Cause Analysis Tips, TapRooT

Screen Shot 2012-04-17 At 3.56.49 Pm 2

In 2012, a little over 12,000 people were trained to use TapRooT® to find and fix root causes.

That’s a record.

If the first quarter of 2013, course registrations are up. We think 2013 will see even more people in TapRooT® Courses.

That good news for the people who will have their lives saved, see product quality improved, see hospital patient safety improved, and get better equipment reliability at their facility … when TapRooT® is applied as part of a performance improvement program (see success stories by clicking here).

What’s the bad news? The popularity of TapRooT® Training means that sometimes our public courses are filling up early. Sometimes even two months before the course takes place.

Also, our training schedule for on-site courses is filling up.

What does that mean to you? If you are planning to attend a specific public TapRooT® CourseSIGN UP EARLY.

If you want to have a course at your site, get it scheduled NOW! (Contact us by CLICKING HERE.)

Ripley’s Gatlinburg offers a multitude of fun activities, including a Haunted Adventure, Moving Theatre, Believe it or Not Museum, Mirror Maze, Candy Factory, and Davy Crockett themed Mini Golf. You’ll have tons of family-friendly fun at these attractions which will excite and amaze you!

titanic-night-to-remember

The Titanic Museum is actually in nearby Pigeon Forge, and it’s worth the short drive because it’s the largest Titanic museum attraction in the world. As you begin your experience you’ll be handed a card with the name of a historical individual who traveled on the Titanic. You’ll be able to learn about that specific person’s experience, as well as view other artifacts from the Titanic.

At the Sugarlands Riding Stables you’ll be able to enjoy a horseback ride through the Great Smoky Mountain National Park with your family, ages 5 and up! You’ll view the beautiful mountains, along with all the flora and fauna, while enjoying a fun guided ride through the Smokies.
