Not My Fault! (Or Is It?) Mastering Root Cause Analysis Before Year-End

 

Corrective actions can be tricky, especially when you’re trying to close them out before year-end.

Everyone wants to fix problems quickly, but not every fix addresses the real issue. When teams jump to conclusions, skip steps in the investigation, or implement a solution without verifying the true root cause, the result is predictable: repeat problems, frustrating audit findings, and avoidable rework at the busiest time of year.

This webinar recording takes a deep dive into the most common pitfalls in root cause analysis and, more importantly, shows you exactly how to avoid them. The instructor breaks down real-world examples of where corrective actions go off track and provides clear, practical approaches you can use to strengthen investigations, validate causes, and implement solutions that actually work. You’ll learn how to identify true root causes, evaluate your options, and prioritize corrective actions so you can close them out confidently and effectively before year-end. In this recording, you’ll learn: The most frequent pitfalls that lead to weak or incorrect root causes, and the specific steps to avoid them Practical corrective action tools that work across industries and organization sizes How to prioritize and close out CARs and CAPAs efficiently and correctly before the end of the year

If you’ve ever said, “That’s not my fault,” only to find yourself fixing the same issue again later, this session is for you. Whether you’re a Quality Manager, Auditor, Process Engineer, or Team Lead racing against year-end deadlines, you’ll gain clearer methods, actionable strategies, and the confidence to solve problems the right way the first time. You’ll also leave knowing exactly how to avoid common pitfalls that cause corrective actions to fail, so your efforts truly make a lasting impact.

By the end of this webinar, anyone involved in root cause analysis, corrective or preventive actions, or quality metrics will walk away with practical tools, real-world strategies, and likely a few “aha!” moments. You’ll be equipped to make your corrective actions stick, strengthen your quality system, and reduce recurring issues, giving you peace of mind as the year closes.
