"Problem Solving Methods"
Speaker: Lestie Carey
Specialist in Organizational Change

About the Program:
 

Problem Solving Methodology
  •  Why it fails to meet expectations (good problem solving is expected to stop repeat problem; problems do recur for the SAME root cause if this tool set is not used well)
  • What to do to ensure success
  • How problem solving supports Plan Do Check Act
  • The importance of accurate problem identification and "tools" to assist (Honda's emphasis)
  • The important of analysis based on cross-functional input and good tool usage
  • How to support implementation AND maintenance of countermeasures
This will be an interactive discussion and not a lecture.
