Session Descriptions
Equifactor Symposium
Equifactor® is a fantastic tool, and we want to improve it. Share YOUR Equifactor® best practices, teaching methods, success stories, and feedback to drive the future of structured equipment troubleshooting. Geared toward users and instructors, think of this as the Equifactor® advisory board.
Change Analysis Exercise
Change analysis is the most intuitive tool in the equipment troubleshooting universe. When something breaks, this is the first question we always ask. But when more than one parameter has changed, failures become complicated without a structure. We’ll dig into an example never-before-seen in the TapRooT® curriculum to see what Change Analysis can do.
