Overview

What will you learn? All the TapRooT® Tools including: - SnapCharT® - Root Cause Tree® - SMARTER - Corrective Action Helper® Module - Critical Human Action Profile (CHAP) - Safeguards Analysis - Equifactor® Equipment Troubleshooting Technique - Change Analysis Plus you will learn many advanced skills that a Team Leader needs to collect information, analyze root causes, and develop effective fixes that will help your company improve performance. These advanced skills and knowledge include: - An advanced 14 step interviewing process - Advanced human performance analysis and improvement techniques - A matrix to develop ideas to change behavior - Procedure improvement strategies and tools - Ways to use the TapRooT® Tools proactively to stop accidents before they happen - A form to help you develop SMARTER corrective actions - The basics behind the advanced TapRooT® trending techniques - The basics for using the Equifactor® Troubleshooting Tools - Understanding the Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) - How to present your root cause analysis to management to get approval for improvement initiatives. And you will get lots of practice using your newly learned skills and techniques to analyze root causes in realistic exercises based on real life problems.

But don't get the impression that this is a boring techniques class. You will learn these useful tools in a fast paced environment that include realistic exercises, games, role play, interactive discussions, and the use of the TapRooT® Software. Quite frankly, most students are amazed at how much they learn, how interesting the material is, and how fast five days flies by. This course is really that good and that interesting for those interested in improving human and equipment performance.

When you complete the training, you will be confident that you have learned the tools and skills needed to effectively use the TapRooT® System to lead an investigation team to the real, fixable causes that are at the root of a problems. You will be able to help find causes that your investigations would have previously missed. You will learn how to find root causes without the negative finger-pointing and blame that hinders effective investigation. You'll learn how to develop effective fixes using the Corrective Action Helper® Module of the patented TapRooT® Software. You will be confident that you can stop recurring problems using the type of fixes are most effective for the various problems that you will find.

This course is especially valuable for people interested in analyzing the causes of human error. You'll learn rules and theories to help you improve human performance, including how to improve procedures, training, communications, human engineering, supervision, and management systems. You'll also learn ways to improve your company's investigation processes and procedures. But beyond being able to analyze problems, you will be able to communicate what you discovered. You will learn tools for presenting your findings to management in a powerful, yet easy-to-understand format. You\'ll explain what happened and make it easy for management to grasp the importance of implementing the corrective actions. You will practice these tools/skills until you feel confident. You will know that when you lead an investigation, it will be a success.

However, this class isn't just for reactive problem solving. It also teaches you to use the same techniques to find and fix problems proactively BEFORE an accident or incident occurs and to analyze the Safeguards that keep problems from happening or from getting worse once a single Safeguard fails. Using the TapRooT® Software is an integral part of this class. This is not a software class. But you will learn the TapRooT® Software by using it to analyze problems, find root causes, and develop effective corrective/preventive actions. People often comment that learning the software was so much a part of what they were doing that they didn't even notice that they were learning it - but they did! Course participants receive the TapRooT® Book, the pocket sized Root Cause Tree® Dictionary, a laminated Root Cause Tree®, Corrective Action Helper®, and a fully functional, individual user version of the TapRooT® Software. The software, a $1,895 value when purchased without training, makes this course a great value. Perhaps that is why so many of these public 5-Day Courses fill to capacity. Remember, there is a $500 discount if your company has a site license or you own software (please install before the course as a copy of the software will not be provided).

Course Guarantee: Attend this course. Go back to work and use what you have learned to analyze accidents, incidents, near-misses, or quality problems. If you don't find root causes that you previously would have overlooked and if you and your management don't agree that the corrective actions that you recommend are much more effective, just return your course materials and we will refund the entire course fee. No questions asked - No hard feelings - It's that simple.

So don't wait! Sign up today for the course of your choice before space runs out!
