Avoid Costly
Errors & Reach Corporate Goals
Eliminate undesirable outcomes, chronic problems,
incidents, accidents... The cost of such events to corporations is high,
generally adding up to tens and hundreds of millions of dollars in
"accepted" losses. Why accept these losses? What if you could

occurring altogether?
This book shows you how to identify, understand,
and prevent chronic problems that hinder the attainment of organizational
goals using Root Cause Analysis (RCA.)
