Excellent, practical course in effective problem solving. Both instructors use skill and humor with practical case studies to reinforce the tools.

Steve Ladwig

CAPA Coordinator at DDL, Inc.

I originally attended a two-day seminar provided by Rob. It was a big eye opener for me seeing how to systematically perform a root cause investigation. I was sent to the training by my previous employer as we were having difficulties identifying the root cause on a manufacturing issue that was approximately one-year-old and causing a substantial increase in customer complaints. I was ready to tackle the problem after returning from the Weaver Consulting training and was told by a couple of engineers “Thanks for your input but all that CAPA training is the same and it won’t work here”.  After about two more weeks of not being able to find the root cause I started my own investigation using the techniques Rob had shown me and identified a pattern, I brought this information to the quality engineer.  We then started using some of the tools and techniques, approximately one month later the root cause was identified.  I was hired at DDL approximately one year ago to help resolve the CAPA problems that were being experienced.  When I was first hired DDL had over 80 open corrective actions and over 20 preventive actions. I immediately noticed there was no system in place to perform a root cause investigation. I started implementing the Weaver system and teaching everyone the basic concepts of “tightening the fence”. We were able to reduce the number of CAPAs from over 100 to under 25. The Weaver technique works, follow the process that Rob lays out and you will have success identifying and eliminating the root cause.

Rob’s passion and belief in CAPA was real and infectious. I am extremely driven to apply these tools into enhancing my career and adding value to my organization.

Jim Handzo

Quality Manager at Mallinckrodt (formerly Ikaria)

I have had the opportunity to work with Rob three times in the past few months as he delivered Root Cause Investigation training at all of Ikaria's sites. The training was a tremendous success due in no small part to Rob's detailed knowledge of the subject, creative and practical application of the associated tools, and marvelously engaging delivery style. I wholeheartedly recommend him and look forward to future opportunities to engage his services for Ikaria.

I would absolutely recommend Rob, and Weaver consulting root cause analysis trainings to anyone interested in honing their process development skills.

David Hathaway

Process Quality Engineer at Zimmer Biomet

Rob came to our facility to conduct a two-day CAPA Root Cause identification training for various personnel and groups here.

As a consultant and trainer I found Rob to be very knowledgeable and familiar with the concepts and materials he presented to us and trained us on.

His training method was easy going but concise and too the point. He included humor and seriousness to keep the students/audience involved and active. Rob was quick on his feet with answers to possible questions/scenarios that he may not have had previously. He was detailed and specific and communicated well to everyone (he did not talk down to anyone nor "over our heads". He was careful to ensure everyone understood and was following along. Several of the class participants I spoke with after said they wished we would have had this training a long time ago, and they couldn't wait to start using the tools and skills they had just learned. As a consultant, trainer and facilitator I would recommend Rob and his company to anyone needing support and training for root cause analysis investigation.

Rob is energetic and enthusiastic, and keeps the class moving at a nice pace. The subject matter was clearly explained using real case studies and team exercises to drive the topic home. I have no problem recommending this class to anyone who performs problem solving and root cause analysis as part of their job responsibilities.

Bradley Osborne

Director, Supply Chain at Cogmedix

Our organization retained Rob to conduct Root Cause Analysis training. Rob's delivery of this course was outstanding. He was not only well-versed in the many problem solving tools available, but was enthusiastic and engaging in his delivery of the material. As with any course, the real ROI will be in how our organization implements the tools provided and in how well we are able to integrate these methodologies into our culture, but without a doubt, Rob has set us up for success in this arena.

Rob is a very engaging and captivating instructor, and he explains things in a clear and concise manner. He truly makes the course as interesting and entertaining as possible because let's face it - root cause analysis is not exactly the most exciting topic.

Mark Morgan

Senior Lean Manager at Kellogg Company

You would think that a 2 Day Root Cause Analysis Training Session would be very stiff, boring and just the same thing you have heard before with a different twist. Well that is not what Rob provides. He showed me new tools that I hadn't seen in over 30 years in manufacturing, a logical process to follow that he presented with excellent case studies, lively breakout sessions and in a very captivating overall format. My team is already looking how we can apply our key learnings from this session. Highly recommended to push your problem solving process to the next level.

I had attended a two seminar/training on CAPA provided by Rob. The time was well spent!! Rob provided a full, methodical course on conducting a successful CAPA. As Rob walked through the entire process, the handouts, case studies that he had provided were very useful I have a better understanding and appreciation of this key compliance topic after attending this training.

Chantal Bichet

Senior Quality Specialist

I attended a Root Cause Investigation for CAPA seminar last week for which Rob was the trainer/instructor. Rob lead training which used a very unique approach to solving complex problems and drilling down to the true root cause. We've all been trained on some of the various RC Analysis Tools that are out there and have them in our toolbox, but the system he trained us on was a very systematic approach. His approach combined using several different RC tools in a precise systematic way which gets you to where you need to be a lot faster and more efficiently than using any of the RC tools in ones toolbox by itself. I highly recommend Rob and Weaver Consulting for this type of training in the past and will definitely be recommending to some colleagues.

Inessa Miller

Quality Professional at Nanosphere

Rob is a fantastic public speaker who managed to engage, and even entertain, the audience during a seminar which many attendees feared would be boring. Instead, the training was anything but boring, and my colleagues and I still talk about how useful and immediately applicable it was! Rob used real-life examples to make the problem-solving skills he was teaching us as hands-on as possible. He interacted with the trainees in a friendly and confident manner, yet he also knew how to move the discussion along so as to ensure the training was on schedule. As a result, the pace of the training was even and comfortable throughout -- with no slow-poking at the beginning, and no galloping at the end. I really hope that my company arranges more training for us with Rob Weaver as the presenter.

David S Stott II

R&D Manager - Sun Products Corporation

Rob provided CAPA training to myself and my group. Considering the subject matter, the class was engaging and moved very quickly. The material was covered thoroughly, and Rob's passion for the information was obvious.

Rob did an excellent job of training our group on Root Cause Investigations. In a short amount of time, he covered a substantial amount of material, using practical real-world examples and exercises to instill the information. He was extremely professional every step of the way, and had a very dynamic teaching style which made what might be considered a very dry topic quite interesting and enjoyable!

James Mayuric

Manufacturing Engineer at Oberg Industries

I recently attended Rob's 'Root Cause Investigation for CAPA' 2-day course. Rob is an energetic and well organized trainer. The course is hands-on with lots of real life examples. This has been the best training I have received to date.

Winston Snider

Store Systems Engineering Manager at GameStop

I recently attended Rob's 2 day workshop on 'Root Cause Analysis for CAPA'. Rob is an energetic speaker who keeps attendees on track. He has put together clear real world examples used in the workshop. I had some questions before signing up for the workshop and Rob was prompt and professional in answering my questions. In my 20+ year career where the basics of Root Cause Analysis are frequently performed informally, this workshop validated and built upon my experience. Based on my 'street' knowledge of the process, I couldn't find a single change that I would make to the material, Rob covered it completely.
