The profitability and competitiveness of a business are protected by controlling costs. In addition, direct and indirect costs may arise from warranty issues, complaint handling, scraps, redesign, and loss of resources due to rework/reprocessing, free replacement deliveries, loss of management time, lost orders, and lost interest due to delayed payments. A company's bottom line and top line are both deeply affected by poor quality.
Therefore, all professionals within an organization are responsible for identifying, measuring, analyzing, reducing, and preventing poor quality in all processes and activities. As a result, costs will be reduced and profitability will be ensured.

# CERTIFIED SPECIALIST IN ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS – Date: 19, 20, 21, & 29 July 2022 | Time : 1310 Hrs to 1730 Hrs
Fundamental to any continuous improvement program is the ability to determine the root cause of an effect. Root cause analysis involves - deploying methodologies to understand the root cause(s) of a problem and verify the same.
8D and A3 problem-solving are universally deployed approaches that are structured to identify and verify the root cause in a scientific manner.
This course is designed to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of how to analyze a system to identify the root causes of problems through the “Learning-By-Doing” methodology.
Course Content:
- 8D problem-solving methodology using a case study
- D0 – Implement ERA (Emergency Response Action)

# DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS (DOE) FOR PROBLEM SOLVING - Date: 26 - 27 July 2022 | Time : 1340 Hrs to 1700 Hrs
Design of Experiments (DOE) is a mathematical approach to find the importance of the input (x) factor on some output (y) factor and Optimize the setting of x factors. Typically involved in the Lean, TQM and at the Improve stage in Six Sigma approach.
DOE is useful in Design, Sales, Production, Logistics, Human Resource and Finance departments. It will identify the most important input factor for Sales volume, Production, Recruitment, Budgeting, Revenues etc. Thus to decide the focus for the relevant input factor like advertisement, Training, Technical parameters in the machine etc.
