Introduction

Welcome to Episode 194 of the Enterprise Excellence Podcast. It is such a pleasure to have Mr. Jeff Naylor on the podcast and community event with us today. Jeff is the Managing Director of Sirf Round Tables, an organisation truly focused on helping organisations create a better future. Sirf Round Tables do all sorts of amazing things around operational excellence and maintenance and all topics, but a particular one, which I experienced many years ago, was around root cause analysis (RCA) and quality. Without a baseline of quality and root cause capability, there are all sorts of things that play out.
