    What Is Root Cause Analysis and Why It MattersA Problem-Solving Skill for Every Swedish Workplace

    Root Cause Analysis (RCA) training in Sweden equips you with a complete, practical toolkit for investigating problems, finding their true causes and preventing recurrence. Rather than treating symptoms, you learn to trace a defect, failure or incident back to the underlying cause and act on it, so the same problem does not return. It is a core discipline in quality management, Lean and Six Sigma, and every sector that cannot afford repeat failures. The course is grounded in the recognised problem-solving body of knowledge and aligned to ISO 9001:2015 corrective action (Clause 10.2), the Six Sigma DMAIC Analyse phase and Lean operations. You work hands-on with the 5 Whys, the Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagram, Fault Tree Analysis, FMEA and the 8D methodology, learning when to reach for each tool based on the severity and complexity of the problem. Delivered in live online, classroom and onsite corporate formats, this 1-day programme suits quality engineers, operations and production leaders, health and safety managers, IT service managers and improvement practitioners in Sweden's manufacturing, life sciences and technology sectors. Start building the problem-solving skills employers value with Invensis Learning.

    The RCA Tools You Will MasterThe 5 Whys, Fishbone, FTA, FMEA and 8D in Practice

    This training builds a complete root cause analysis toolkit in a single day. You will be able to define a problem, choose the right tool, run the investigation, and put a verified corrective action in place. Each skill below maps to a proven RCA method you practise through hands-on exercises and realistic case studies.

    Define the Problem Precisely

    Learn to write clear, factual problem statements and apply Is / Is Not analysis and timeline mapping, so every investigation starts from a well-defined problem rather than an assumed cause. A problem well defined is a problem half solved.

    Run 5 Whys Investigations

    Apply the iterative 5 Whys technique to drill from a symptom to the root cause of simple, single-cause problems. You learn to avoid stopping at blame or human error and to verify the cause chain works back up logically.

    Facilitate Fishbone Workshops

    Build and lead Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagrams across the 6M categories of Man, Machine, Method, Material, Measurement and Environment, so teams surface every contributing cause of complex, multi-cause problems, not just the obvious one.

    Apply Fault Tree Analysis and FMEA

    Use Fault Tree Analysis with AND and OR logic for safety-critical events, and apply FMEA to prioritise corrective actions by risk. You learn when each tool fits the severity and complexity of the problem in front of you.

    Complete 8D Problem-Solving Reports

    Work through all eight disciplines of the 8D methodology, from team formation and interim containment to root cause, permanent corrective action and prevention of recurrence, the structured format widely used in automotive and manufacturing.

    Develop and Verify Corrective Actions

    Build effective, sustainable corrective actions, tell verification from validation, and align your work to ISO 9001:2015 Clause 10.2 and CAPA in regulated industries, so improvements are documented, effective and lasting.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for this course?

    No. This is a non-certification skills course with no exam. Learning is reinforced through hands-on RCA exercises, case study investigations and team discussion, so you practise every tool during the training rather than sitting a test.

    Is Root Cause Analysis a certification?

    No. RCA is a practical skills discipline with no formal certification, awarding body or exam. The course builds a workplace toolkit you can apply immediately, and you receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning to record your attendance.

    How is my learning assessed during the training?

    Learning is assessed informally through hands-on activities: an Is / Is Not problem-definition exercise, a 5 Whys investigation, a Fishbone workshop, an 8D report and a corrective action plan. These let you apply each method to realistic scenarios and confirm your understanding.

    Will the skills expire or need renewal?

    No. Because there is no certification to maintain, there is nothing to renew. The RCA methodology and tools you learn are immediately applicable and do not expire, so you can keep using them across roles and industries.

    Can complete beginners take this course?

    Yes. The course is designed to be accessible to newcomers as well as experienced professionals. It introduces each RCA tool step by step with worked examples, so you build confidence through practice regardless of your starting point.

    Yes. You work through all eight disciplines of the 8D methodology, from containment to prevention of recurrence, and learn how RCA provides the investigative backbone of a compliant CAPA process under frameworks such as ISO 13485 and EU MDR.

    Are the sessions hands-on?

    Yes. The training is built around practical exercises and realistic case studies, and corporate sessions can use your organisation's own problems. You apply each tool during the day rather than only learning the theory.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in RCA training in Sweden?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format and dates, complete the booking, and you will receive access to schedules, courseware and joining details. Talk to a learning advisor if you need help choosing a session.
