This course aims to equip participants with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to identify and address the root causes of defects, eliminate them from processes and systems, prevent their occurrence, detect defects effectively, and create a culture of defect awareness and continuous improvement. Furthermore, provide a cultural change that refuses to accept repeat failures and searches for the true root cause, defect elimination are root cause analysis techniques embedded in a program of continuous improvement. The test can be conveniently taken from the comfort of ones home, library, or workplace. Upon successful completion and passing of the test a digital certificate will be issued to validate ones achievement.

Course Objective
Upon completion of this course you will be able to:
- Gain a thorough understanding of the RCA process and its importance in identifying the underlying causes of defects and failures.
- Learn how to develop effective countermeasures to address identified root causes and prevent recurrence of defects and failures.
- Explore various strategies and techniques for eliminating defects from processes, products, or systems.
- Understand the concept of defect prevention and learn proactive approaches to identify and address potential defects before they occur.
- Gain knowledge about different defect detection methods, such as inspections, testing, and quality control tools, to identify defects during various stages of a process.
Learn how to create a culture of defect awareness within an organization, emphasizing the importance of identifying, reporting, and addressing defects.
