Root Cause Analysis and Poke Yoke Training Workshop

Root Cause Analysis and Poke Yoke Training Workshop by Tonex

The Root Cause Analysis and Poke Yoke Training Workshop by Tonex is designed to provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to identify, analyze, and eliminate the root causes of problems. This workshop emphasizes practical, hands-on learning to equip participants with the tools and methodologies for effective problem-solving and error prevention.

Poke Yoke, or mistake-proofing, techniques will be explored to ensure processes are designed to prevent errors and increase quality. Through interactive sessions, case studies, and practical exercises, attendees will learn how to apply these concepts to real-world situations, leading to improved operational efficiency and reduced costs.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the principles and methodologies of Root Cause Analysis (RCA).
• Develop skills to identify and analyze root causes of problems.
