Overview

In this highly interactive, one-day course, you will learn the necessary skills needed to identify the root causes of failure by using the APM Root Cause Analysis tools. During the course, you will create a Root Cause Analysis by building an Event Timeline and Logic Tree to define and analyze the possible causes of failure. You will query analysis information and generate graphs. You will learn how to complete the Root Cause Analysis, document the findings, and link external files such as photographs and drawings to the analysis, as well as summarize the findings and recommend solutions to decision makers.
