 a. Define a problem statement that, in your opinion, would be most useful for
researchers to investigate.
b. Write up a literature review that would seem to offer the greatest potential for
developing a good theoretical framework, using about 20 references.
ANSWER:
PROBLEM STATEMENT: A problem statement is a concise description of the problem or
issues a project seeks to address. The problem statement identifies the current state, the
desired future state and any gaps between the two. A problem statement is an
important communication tool that can help ensure everyone working on a project
knows what the problem they need to address is and why the project is important.
IMPORTANCE OF PROBLEM STATEMENT: A problem statement is important to a
process improvement project because it helps clearly identify the goals of the project and
outline the scope of a project. It also helps guide the activities and decisions of the people
who are working on the project. The problem statement can help a business or
organization gain support and buy-in for a process improvement project.

1. Ideal situation
2. Reality
3. Consequences
4. Proposal
