Course Description
MEDA is a structured process for investigating the causes of errors made by maintenance technicians and inspectors. It provides a systematic and comprehensive process for conducting thorough and consistent investigations, determining causal factors and thereby enabling the organisation to learn from mistakes. Errors are a result of contributing factors in the workplace, most of which are under the control of management, therefore, improvements can be made to eliminate or mitigate these factors so that similar events do not reoccur.
