Event: Structured Root Cause Analysis Workshop

Step-by-step approach effective in multiple team settings

(Connstep Inc.: Rocky Hill, CT) -- Your customers want to know that errors and complaints are not just “logged in” or the condition “fixed” but that every effort is being made to ensure that the error won’t occur again. Repeated errors are costly to fix and can lead to the loss of a customer.
