Problem-solving teams often fail to identify and address the root cause of problems, resulting in issues recurring. This course provides a step-by-step guide to enable a more rigorous, data-driven approach to root cause analysis. Participants will learn how to use the seven tools of quality to their full effect and how to structure problem-solving activities to move past symptoms and pinpoint the real root cause.

SABRe is the well-established Rolls-Royce standard for supply chain quality. This standard has evolved over 20 years and is now in its fourth edition, with the most recent update to SABRe Revision 4.1 made in December 2023. Industry standards were used as the foundation for many of its requirements. Recently, key aerospace engine manufacturers, through the organization AESQ, have collaborated to produce the standard AS13100—which is now the basis for SABRe 4.1. This industry harmonization has resulted in a reduced set of unique Rolls-Royce requirements. This course covers the new requirements and structure of SABRe 4.1 and helps suppliers transition from SABRe 3 to the new edition. GP Strategies division Smallpeice is the official global trainer for Rolls-Royce SABRe courses.

The course enables participants to:

• Navigate through the SABRe 4.1 standard and understand the relationship with other aerospace standards.
• Recognize the key differences from SABRe 3 and the resultant benefits.
• Familiarize with the Rolls-Royce supplemental requirements stipulated in SABRe 4.1.
• Identify the requirements profile of each supplier type.
• Understand the links to the key principles of advanced product quality planning (APQP) and production part approval process (PPAP).
• Understand the use of the self-assessment tool and the process for achieving certification.

Post-training knowledge test and certificate:

• An online multiple-choice knowledge test will consolidate the learning and provide evidence of understanding of key elements.
• A certificate of successful training attendance will be issued after the test is complete.

Firms must comply with sanctions laws and regulations in every country in which they operate. This awareness-level course explains what sanctions are and what they are used for.
