Why does the same problem keep coming back?

Late shipments. Stockouts. Picking errors. Repeated fixes cost time, money, and customer confidence.

Join Peter Sherman, VP Education - ASCM Atlanta Chapter, for an interactive introduction to Root Cause Analysis. Learn the RCA framework. Practice the key tools using a warehouse case. Learn how to verify a suspected cause and test a fix that holds.
