Course Pics: Instructor Ralph (Reb) Brickey in Southwestern Asia TapRooT® Course

Our great, traveling TapRooT® Instructor Reb Brickey was in southwestern Asia to teach a course with Saudi Aramco instructor Mr Abdullah Alruwaished. Also featured in one picture is Aramco instructor Ali Al-Ayoub.

Enjoy seeing Reb and his fellow TapRooT® instructors with their students in southwestern Asia.

One of Reb’s favorite expressions is “Finish Strong!” and he always does. Thanks for checking out these images.

Founded in 1988, the TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis System solves hurdles every investigator faces

TapRooT® is a systematic process to find and fix the root causes of audits/assessments, precursor incidents, and major accidents. Use TapRooT® to:

• Collect, understand, and organize evidence about what happened. The TapRooT® tool, the SnapCharT® diagram, reduces investigator bias and makes the facts make sense without developing hypotheses.
• Identify all the Causal Factors (the human errors or equipment failures) that led to the problem – the starting point for root cause analysis.
• Use expert guidance to analyze human errors using the Human Performance Troubleshooting Guide and equipment failures using the Equifactor® Troubleshooting Tables.
• Analyze the real root causes of problems guided by the Root Cause Tree® Diagram and Dictionary.
• Develop effective fixes for problems using the Corrective Action Helper® Guide and Safeguard Analysis to stop repeat incidents or significantly reduce their consequences.

TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis Training System takes an investigator beyond his or her knowledge to think outside the box. Backed with extensive research in human performance, incident investigation, and root cause analysis, TapRooT® is a global leader in improved investigation effectiveness and productivity, stopping finger-pointing and blame, improving equipment reliability, and fixing operating problems.

System Improvements, the creator of the TapRooT® System, has a team of investigators and instructors with years of extensive training ready to offer assistance worldwide. We also offer ongoing support to our clients through free newsletters and root cause tip videos, the root cause analysis blog, and our annual Global TapRooT® Summit.
