Tools of Continuous Improvement and Root Cause Analysis – August 2023 in Twin Falls

Twin Falls Idaho Twin Falls, ID

A facility needs to continuously improve in order to stay effective. To reduce overhead costs or costs per unit, to improve product safety and quality, to improve operational efficiencies facilities must continuously look for ways to improve. In addition, when an issue does emerge, ensuring the issue is not going to repeat is imperative to continuous improvement strategies. But how do you make sure a problem does not continue to happen again and again and again? The team must find the true root cause and correct it. Only after a facility has found the true root cause and put in the appropriate policies, procedures, and possibly capital expense will a problem go away. Too often, band-aids are used, or the response of “re-train operator” is the solution.
