Publisher's Synopsis
Root Cause Corrective Action defines an approach for failure root cause identification, corrective action development, and corrective action implementation. This is the first time that we see an all encompassing book on finding problems and the associated solutions, where more application than theory is presented, and where all of this material, while not necessarily new, is integrated into one book. This gives managers the tools they need to identify and solve problems which can be very costly. Topics range from introductory material such as definitions, a four-step problem solving method, and typical problem solving challenges to sources of continuous improvement and several root cause identification, determination and evaluation methods as well as implementation techniques and effectiveness. The discipline of problem solving should be second nature to all professional personnel in an organization, but often is not. The material presented in this book will therefore be extremely beneficial in assisting companies ir problem identification and resolution, and hence in cost-saving exercises resulting in greater efficiency and profitability.
