Getting to the bottom of what is causing a problem is difficult. Sometimes the person with the strongest opinion determines what steps will be taken to solve the problem. Many times the problem keeps coming back. Using root cause analysis tools can help take the emotion out of the discussion and systematically identify the main causes. Join us on March 16 to see how the Interrelationship Digraph works its magic to identify the main driver.

This webinar is one of our monthly Operational Excellence Webinars to support and promote a continuous improvement culture. All recordings of this webinar can be watched later at: bit.ly/3FWC5uq
