From problem definition to lasting solutions – in one day.
This professionally designed 1-day PDCA Problem Solving slide deck is ideal for trainers, consultants, and managers who want to deliver a concise yet impactful workshop on structured problem solving. Instead of covering all 7 basic QC tools – which is more suited for a comprehensive 2-day workshop – this streamlined version zeroes in on the essentials: the PDCA 8-step process and three core analytical tools (Pareto Chart, Fishbone Diagram, and 5 Whys).
It is perfectly suited for organizations that need a focused, hands-on training program that equips participants to clearly define problems, identify root causes, implement corrective actions, and sustain continuous improvement – all within a single day or two half-day sessions.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
1. Gain insights into essential PDCA problem-solving concepts and principles.
2. Understand the roles and dynamics of problem-solving teams.
3. Master the step-by-step 8-step PDCA process.
4. Apply core analytical tools such as Pareto Charts, Fishbone Diagram, and 5 Whys.
