Right now, Ron Pryor is providing a very interesting talk on a kaizen project to improve environmental performance. He’s showing the Iowa’s largest SnapCharT®.

A TapRooT® User sent me this PowerPoint this morning. I’m always interested in preliminary failure analysis and this one is quite interesting. Here is the link to download the PowerPoint (.pps):
Time for a math lesson….. 60 students divided into two classes equals 14 final group exercises and presentations which equals 14 separate incidents analyzed using TapRooT®. Now that was a good day!
Here’s the tough crowd that critiques each presentation.
Here’s the course participants with new confidence presenting what happened, why it happened, and what they are going to do to keep the incident from happening in the future.
After just two days of training these students go back to work much more confident in their ability to find and fix the root causes of accidents, incidents, near-misses, quality problems, and process upsets.
If you would like your staff to be able to confidently lead a root cause analysis, consider sending them to a public TapRooT® Course. Or call us at 865-539-2139 about scheduling on-site training for 10 to 32 employees in a class.
