    What Is Root Cause Analysis and Why It MattersThe Skill Behind Lasting Fixes

    Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Training in Senegal is a one-day, non-certification skills programme that teaches teams how to investigate problems, defects and incidents, find the fundamental cause and put fixes in place that prevent recurrence. Rather than treating symptoms, you learn to separate the symptom, the immediate cause and the true root cause using a proven toolkit. The course covers the core RCA methods used across quality management, Six Sigma, Lean, HSE and IT incident management: the 5 Whys, the Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagram, Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), FMEA in an RCA context, Pareto analysis and the 8D problem-solving methodology. It maps directly to the ISO 9001:2015 corrective action requirement (Clause 10.2), so quality teams can close nonconformities with structured, documented evidence. With Senegal's oil and gas, mining, cement and agri-food sectors scaling fast, employers value professionals who can stop costly problems recurring. Delivered live online, in the classroom or on-site for your team, this training turns everyday firefighting into disciplined, root-cause prevention.

    The RCA Tools You Will MasterA Complete Problem-Solving Toolkit

    This programme builds a complete, practical root cause analysis toolkit in one day. Through worked examples and hands-on exercises, you learn to select and apply the right RCA tool for problems of any complexity or severity.

    Problem Definition and Is/Is Not Analysis

    You will learn to write precise, factual problem statements and use Is/Is Not analysis to narrow the possible causes before investigation begins, the foundation of every effective root cause analysis.

    The 5 Whys Technique

    Apply the iterative 5 Whys method to drill from a visible symptom to the true root cause, and recognise when an investigation has stopped too early at blame rather than a system cause.

    Fishbone (Ishikawa) Diagrams

    Facilitate cause-and-effect workshops using the 6M categories to map every potential cause of a complex, multi-factor problem and prioritise the most likely root causes with your team.

    Fault Tree Analysis and FMEA

    Use Fault Tree Analysis with AND and OR logic for safety-critical incidents, and apply FMEA to prioritise corrective actions by severity, occurrence and detection in an RCA context.

    The 8D Problem-Solving Method

    Work through all eight disciplines of 8D, from team formation and interim containment to root cause, permanent corrective action and prevention of recurrence, the standard many export customers expect.

    Corrective Action and Verification

    Develop corrective actions that address the verified root cause, then verify and validate effectiveness, meeting the ISO 9001:2015 Clause 10.2 corrective action requirement.

    How is my learning assessed?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you apply each RCA tool, the 5 Whys, Fishbone, FTA, FMEA and 8D, to realistic problem scenarios and case studies during the day, so you practise the skills before returning to work.

    Will I be able to apply RCA at work immediately?

    Yes. By the end of the day you can define a problem, run a 5 Whys or Fishbone investigation, complete an 8D report and develop verified corrective actions that support ISO 9001 Clause 10.2 compliance.

    Does this course lead to a governing-body credential?

    No. RCA is a vendor-neutral skill with no single governing body or certifying exam. The training builds a practical toolkit grounded in recognised quality management and problem-solving practice that you can use in any sector.

    Course Content

    What topics does the RCA training cover?

    The course covers RCA principles and the three levels of cause, problem definition and Is/Is Not analysis, data and timeline collection, the 5 Whys, the Fishbone diagram, Fault Tree Analysis, FMEA, the 8D methodology, and corrective action, verification and building an RCA culture.

    Which RCA tools will I learn?

    You learn the 5 Whys for simple problems, the Fishbone diagram for complex multi-cause problems, Fault Tree Analysis for safety-critical events, FMEA for prioritising actions, and 8D for structured team-based corrective action, plus how to select the right tool.

    How long is the training?

    The programme runs for one day (8 hours), delivered as a full day or two half-days. It covers all six RCA modules with concept explanations, worked examples and hands-on exercises throughout.

    Are there hands-on exercises?

    Yes. You practise Is/Is Not problem definition, a 5 Whys investigation, Fishbone construction, and an 8D report on a realistic scenario, so you apply every tool before using it at work.

    Does the course support ISO 9001 compliance?

    Yes. The training maps directly to the ISO 9001:2015 corrective action requirement (Clause 10.2) and the CAPA process used in regulated industries, helping you close nonconformities with structured, documented root-cause evidence.

    What materials are provided?

    You receive structured courseware, worked examples, RCA tool templates and case studies that support each module and give you reference material to use after the training.
