Getting the most out of failures/ Online event
The Welding Institute Wales Branch is delighted to invite you to an inspiring technical talk on failure investigations.
What will the event cover?
Failure investigation is only a small, but essential part of the root cause analysis process. This presentation highlights the difference between failure investigation and root cause analysis, considers the methodology of a failure investigation, and using examples, covers some of the pitfalls related to interpreting the data arising from failure investigations. Some of the challenges associated with failures which occur frequently, or occurred due to repairs being carried out without investigation of the failure are also considered
