One of the early and more formidable tasks facing an administrator who is setting in a formal root cause analysis program for prevention and operations improvement, is the essential step of getting everyone together on the same page, thinking the same way as a team about the essential elements, objectives and concepts of the program. Some call this the first step in creating a corporate culture. It is an important task because several goals must be achieved before that culture shift can jell into a foundation for consistent and sustaining prevention and control activity:

• Everyone must perceive and understand the overall goal of the program

• Everyone must learn and understand the functioning principles that will produce the success of the prevention program

• Everyone must adopt a consistent way to perceive operations problems and their solutions

• Everyone must learn, apply and share a language in common for defining, communicating and analyzing the causes and solutions of operations problems

• Everyone must know their role and responsibilities in the prevention program

Managing For Prevention is a 30-minute video on DVD that has been designed as an introductory tool to cost-effectively orient and educate your personnel on the key elements for successful operations improvement activities. Your personnel will learn:
