Root Cause Analysis for Non-Specialists
2 days|Delivered on request
Root Cause Analysis for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through corrective and preventive action and technical record keeping 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 internal auditing, laboratory design and method validation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where internal auditing is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against good laboratory practice
- Improve laboratory design within their own organisation
- Put method validation on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Take ownership of root cause analysis rather than escalating it
