Stop treating symptoms and uncover root causes with proven investigation techniques and robust corrective action systems designed to permanently eliminate costly engineering failures.
Engineering failures can have significant consequences for safety, quality, reliability, and project performance. Identifying the true root cause requires more than resolving the immediate issue—it demands a structured investigation process that addresses underlying technical and systemic factors. This practical course explores proven methodologies for investigating engineering failures, analysing non-conformances, and implementing effective corrective actions. Participants will gain practical insight into root cause analysis, technical impact assessments, and corrective action systems that improve product quality, prevent recurrence, and strengthen engineering and manufacturing processes.
