Problem Solving is a proven and powerful yet simple step-by-step approach to reducing recurring customer complaints, waste, scrap, rework and the associated costs. This workshop focuses on providing participants with a hands-on and practical application to effectively deal with product and process problems. Teams of participants will learn by applying the 8 Disciplines and related tools and techniques (e.g. 5W2H, process mapping, Pareto, cause & effect diagrams, 5 Whys, etc.) to real problems.
