A3 Problem Solving: IS - IS NOT Matrix Template PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 181-slide The A3 Problem Solving Process & Tools PowerPoint presentation, presents a structured template for the "IS - IS NOT" matrix, a tool designed to facilitate problem-solving processes. It is organized into 2 main columns: one for describing what occurs and another for what does not occur, but could potentially occur. This dual perspective encourages thorough analysis of issues by contrasting existing conditions with possible alternatives.

The first section focuses on the "What?" aspect, prompting users to identify the object and the defect associated with it. This foundational step is crucial for establishing a clear understanding of the problem at hand. The subsequent sections delve into the "Where?" and "When?" dimensions, guiding users to pinpoint the location of the defect and the timeline of its occurrence. This chronological and spatial analysis helps in identifying patterns or trends that may not be immediately apparent.

The template further explores the "How Big?" question, asking users to quantify the defects in terms of frequency and size. This quantitative assessment is essential for prioritizing issues based on their impact. Each section is accompanied by prompts that encourage deeper inquiry, ensuring that users consider all relevant factors.

Overall, this matrix serves as a practical framework for dissecting problems systematically. It aids in visualizing the relationship between current and potential states, fostering a more comprehensive understanding of the issues faced. For organizations looking to enhance their problem-solving capabilities, this tool offers a structured approach that can lead to more informed decision-making and effective solutions.

This slide is part of the The A3 Problem Solving Process & Tools PowerPoint presentation.

Developed by a Senior Executive and Operational Excellence Coach with experience at organizations including NOKIA, MICROVENTION, and MAGELLAN, this is a presentation and supporting templates to teach the A3 Problem Solving Process.
