SIRF Roundtables Blog

What is RT Advantage?

We offer public workshops across our range and tailored in-house packages for organisations that have specific needs or training objectives in mind, we also pride ourselves in our trainers who are experienced in delivery and have significant industry background to enable them to relate to their audiences.

Being a member of a SIRF Roundtable also brings you the opportunity of gaining some great discounts and special deals, as well as a range of programs not always available to the public.

Our three main Rt Advantage workshops are RCARt (Advanced and Intermediate Root Cause Analysis training), LEAN Training and International Specialist Workshops. 

As a result of Covid 19 all face to face RT Advantage training came to a grinding halt in March. Forced change is never popular and we certainly had to quickly reconsider our immediate training options and what the future of training would be.

We quickly had to work at converting our problem-solving training (RCA & 5YA3) courses to an online format, and we have just successfully commenced the third online training course. 

The response to the changes, including embedding the RCA2Go software in the training with a year’s free access, has been quite amazing. Thank you to our member companies for continuing to support us through this transition. Companies with multiple regional sites have already expressed how the online format has been a huge improvement for them. Being able to share the software and work with others on the same RCA in the software real time is fantastic.

When the border closures were announced we unfortunately had our International Speaker Ron Moore here from America. He had to fly home before completing his Operational Excellence training on Reliability Leadership, however he has worked hard to convert his training to online format and we have successfully completed 1 public workshop and 1 in-house with one of our members companies. We thank Ron for all his hard work, and all attendees for their patience whilst we did this. 

We also successfully converted Joel Levitt’s Planning & Scheduling course to multiple short sessions online, with more fantastic feedback! Thank you Joel!

As we begin to see light at the end of the Covid-19 tunnel, the future is quite clear to me and it is not back to normal. We have embraced the changes and not only are the benefits of having people from across Aus/NZ in the same course significant, nut it has opened many doors for those on remote sites, and we plan to have a mixture of face to face & virtual courses going forward.
