Problem Solving Process  Why should you attend this training ?
This training will help you to solve complex or repetitive problems where causes are unknown. Very often the teams seek to eliminate the primary causes of the problems which they encounter but it is a long and difficult process. These teams often use in an incorrect and ineffective way the tools of problem solving techniques and make the error of concentrating on the symptoms or the effects of the problems. However if the root cause is not identified, the problem will not fail to reappear. Who should attend ? This training is appropriate for all people of different departments of your company, which are anxious to eliminate their problems. Workshop objectives • The training aims to present a logical and effective methodology to the delegates, appropriate for the resolution of complex problems. This methodology is based on tools which proved reliable :
- To facilitate the identification of the true root cause problem.
- To help the teams to eliminate the problems, instead of finding solutions of provisional correction.
- To be clear and comprehensible throughout the stages of the problem solving process. Key points The problem solving process must be an essential priority if a company wants to achieve financial results and stay ahead of its competitors.
• To seek the cause of the problem rather than concentrating on the symptoms.
• To eliminate the root cause of the problem.
• To simplify the processes and/or the products.
• To improve quality : That will have an important effect on customer satisfaction, the reduction of defects and the production lead times, i.e. 3 key measurements which relate to daily objectives.
• To support the team work.
• To change the company culture.
