Defect elimination is often seen as the little brother of root cause analysis. Or, is it? While RCA efforts are usually prioritized around big show stoppers — the most critical defects threatening plant operations — RCA has one fundamental flaw: it is reactive. Defect elimination involves a different team and a different culture in a parallel, supplemental effort to improve asset productivity by reducing the cumulative impact of hundreds, if not thousands, of minor defects before they grow bigger. In this sense, DE is the smarter, faster little brother of RCA. This training course provides a unique, structured approach for a defect elimination culture to take hold within an organization.
