This PPT slide, part of the 206-slide The 8D Problem Solving Process & Tools PowerPoint presentation, presents a structured worksheet aimed at analyzing a specific problem related to red felt tip markers leaking. It employs a comparative analysis framework that delineates the current state of the issue (IS) and contrasts it with what is not occurring (IS NOT). This dual approach facilitates a deeper understanding of the problem by identifying distinctions and changes that may have contributed to the defect.
The worksheet is organized into several key sections. The first section, labeled "What?", identifies the object in question—the red felt tip marker—and the defect observed, which is leaking. The subsequent sections probe into the specifics of the issue, such as the location of the defect, the timeline of when the defect was first noticed, and the scale of the problem. Each question prompts the user to consider various dimensions of the defect, encouraging a thorough investigation.
The "Distinctions" column invites users to think critically about what could explain the differences between the observed state and the non-observed state. This section is crucial for identifying potential factors such as people, methods, materials, machines, and environmental influences that might be at play.
Lastly, the "Changes" section focuses on identifying any alterations that have occurred around the issue, including when these changes took place. This holistic view is essential for pinpointing root causes and developing effective solutions. The worksheet is designed to guide users through a systematic problem-solving process, ensuring that all relevant factors are considered before arriving at conclusions. This structured approach can significantly enhance decision-making and operational efficiency.
This slide is part of the The 8D Problem Solving Process & Tools PowerPoint presentation.
