SUMMARY:[FREE WEBINAR] Practical Root Cause Analysis in Aerospace & Defence: From Insight to Impact
DESCRIPTION: Date: Thursday 26th November 2026 Time: 12.00pm – 12.50pm \nRegister Today!\n\nExplore practical Root Cause Analysis within aerospace and defence\, using process understanding\, evidence and capability to support better-informed improvement decisions. \n\nAbout the session\nInvestment and demand are creating significant growth opportunities across aerospace and defence and while manufacturers and its supply chains are expanding capability the ability to maintain demanding standards for quality\, safety\, compliance\, delivery and productivity has become even more critical. \nRoot Cause Analysis (RCA) provides a structured way to investigate performance\, understand contributing factors and use evidence to guide improvement activity. \nJoin CQM Training & Consultancy for a free\, practical 60-minute Lunch & Learn exploring RCA within an aerospace and defence manufacturing context. \nThe session will consider how RCA can be applied across day-to-day performance challenges\, recurring issues\, emerging risks and opportunities for improvement\, using structured thinking to build a clearer understanding of what is influencing performance and where action could be focused. \nProcess capability will provide context to the RCA discussion\, helping participants consider how process data\, variation and performance against requirements can strengthen an investigation and support the evaluation of improvement activity. The workshop concept uses capability in this supporting role alongside process understanding and established RCA techniques. \nAlongside focused input from CQM\, the session will include contextualised interactive elements\, practical discussion and real-world examples\, giving participants an opportunity to apply some of the thinking within scenarios familiar to aerospace and defence. \n  \nWhat we’ll explore\nThe session is expected to cover themes including: \n\nDeveloping a structured approach to Root Cause Analysis\nDefining performance gaps\, risks and improvement opportunities clearly\nUsing process understanding and evidence to explore potential causes\nApplying practical RCA techniques\, including 5 Whys and Fishbone\nUsing process capability and variation as context within an investigation\nConnecting findings with appropriate actions and ongoing review\n\nExamples and activities will draw on familiar aerospace and defence considerations\, which could include quality and right-first-time performance\, process variation\, delivery\, manufacturing performance\, supplier issues\, traceability and customer requirements. \n  \nWhy attend?\nThis interactive session provides an opportunity to explore RCA within an aerospace and defence environment and develop a more structured approach that can be applied within everyday operational and improvement activity. \nParticipants will gain practical insight into the relationship between the performance gap\, process understanding\, evidence\, potential causes and action\, with process capability providing additional context around variation and performance. \nThe Lunch & Learn will also provide an opportunity to work through contextualised activities\, discuss real-world examples and share experience with professionals from across aerospace\, defence and its supply chain. \n  \nWho should attend?\nThe session is accessible to a broad range of professionals involved in operational performance\, quality\, engineering and improvement\, including: \n\nContinuous Improvement and Operational Excellence Practitioners\nManufacturing and Process Engineers\nQuality and Product Assurance Professionals\nOperations and Manufacturing Managers\nTeam Leaders and Supervisors\nProgramme and Project Professionals\nSupplier Quality and Supply Chain Professionals\nLean and Six Sigma Practitioners\nManagers and practitioners involved in problem solving or performance improvement\n\nYour facilitator – Alan Clark\nAlan Clark is an experienced CQM Development Coach and Continuous Improvement practitioner with a strong background in industry and practical improvement. \nHis experience includes working within the sector and supporting an aerospace and defence organisation with its SC21 improvement and award journey\, giving him first-hand insight into the performance\, quality and improvement expectations experienced across the supply chain. \nAlan brings this practical experience into his delivery\, using relatable manufacturing examples and structured improvement techniques to help participants connect the learning with their own working environments. \n  \nAbout CQM Training & Consultancy\nCQM works across aerospace\, defence and advanced manufacturing\, supporting organisations to develop capability across Operational Excellence\, Continuous Improvement\, Lean Six Sigma\, leadership and Strategy Deployment. \nWe are members of ADS Group and the North West Aerospace Alliance (NWAA) and are an SC21 training provider\, helping us remain closely connected with capability development across aerospace and defence manufacturers and their supply chains. \nOur programmes combine structured development with practical application and can be contextualised around organisational priorities\, operational environments and existing improvement approaches. \n  \nRegister Today!
