This PPT slide, part of the 181-slide The A3 Problem Solving Process & Tools PowerPoint presentation, presents a checklist questionnaire focused on assessing current conditions related to problem-solving processes. It begins with a clear problem description, emphasizing the need to distinguish between "Change-Induced" and "Day-One-Deviation" scenarios. This distinction is critical for accurately framing the issue at hand.
Next, it highlights the importance of conducting a thorough "IS – IS NOT" analysis. This analysis aims to document the specifics of the problem, including its scope and impact. The slide also stresses the necessity of developing and verifying visual tools such as Process Flowcharts, Value Stream Maps, or Spaghetti Diagrams. These tools serve to clarify the process and identify where the problem originates.
The checklist further prompts a review of process details to pinpoint the initial appearance of the problem. It encourages evaluation of problem patterns, which can provide insights into recurring issues. Additionally, it suggests reviewing similar components or parts that may have encountered the same problem, fostering a broader understanding of potential solutions.
Finally, the slide underscores the importance of comprehensive data collection and analysis. This step is essential for informed decision-making and effective problem resolution. The structured approach outlined in this checklist can help organizations systematically address issues, ensuring that all relevant factors are considered before moving forward. This document serves as a valuable tool for executives looking to enhance their problem-solving capabilities.
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.
