Practitioners and management sometimes need an independent review of DUO/RCA results, often called a “peer review."  This is particularly helpful during the course of an investigation and before improvements are approved.

World Interplay uses a robust, structured multi-point inspection of separate areas that do the following:

• Verify the methodology was properly followed (report integrity)
• Thorough review and critique of the cause and effect charts (structure, causes, evidence, etc.)
• Provide added insight into the causes and solutions

You typically submit your report along with any reports, photos, diagrams of the problem. 

World Interplay conducts a thorough review and completes a detailed, itemized report.  If requested, we can support telephone conferences  or web meetings to discuss the results.

Pricing:  Please contact us for a quote.  If desired, we can  provide a cursory review and provide you with an estimate of hours required.

Certain problems require rapid and experienced resolution. To support this, we can provide on-site facilitation, which includes defining/scoping the issue (unwanted outcome), conducting a study to identify causes and other insights, and developing recommendations to correct/improve.  We provide a detailed report and briefing to leadership.  There is a lot more detail to our proven approach and you can learn more by contacting us. 

This is not a linear process. In other words, there is typically a lot of interaction between the steps listed above.  In addition, the team may decide to customize the tools and method during the activity.

This is among the most challenging facilitation and is typically much more difficult than traditional Lean Six Sigma facilitation.  This being said, this approach quickly provides excellent results from a strong team environment.

Pricing:  Please contact us for a quote.  For all services, we provide a detailed list of hours and activities, along with receipts.

Our Diagnosing Unwanted Outcomes methodology works well within an ISO 9001 or AS9100 Preventive and Corrective Action System.  Please contact us for details.
