Fundamentals of Root Cause Analysis
2 days|Delivered on request
Fundamentals of Root Cause Analysis is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through reagent management and non-conformance management without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because method validation is frequently treated as paperwork rather than as evidence, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with sample handling and chain of custody, laboratory safety and proficiency testing in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Put sample handling and chain of custody on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against ISO 17025
- Improve laboratory safety within their own organisation
- Take ownership of proficiency testing rather than escalating it
- Spot where supplier qualification is failing before it becomes a finding
