Problem Solving A3 - What the Story Should Look Like


Step 1 PROBLEM CLARIFICATION Step 4 TARGET SETTING

1.0 Background 1.1 Gap Analysis - GAP is clearly visualised 1.2 Problem Statement Visualise your Specific Target Impact on the Gap

Step 5 ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS


Step 2 CONTAINMENT Ideal Situation

Containment Activity (5W, 2H): Visualise: Is the Containment working ? What actions have you taken What is the impact of Containment on PROBLEM to PURSUE Problem to Pursue Check
during Containment the Gap ? Timeframe Therefore
What: What is the activity ? What caused WHY ?
this ? What was Direct
When: When is the start date and timing ? the reason ? Direct Cause 1 Direct Cause 2
OK Ideal Cause(s)
Show some of the actions that Situation Therefore
Where: Where will the activity be done ? WHY ?
have been taken and what have
you discovered and learnt from Because
Who: Who will be involved (name, title) ?
the Containment activity ? Therefore
What was the - Screen shots WHY ?
Why: What is the purpose of the activity ? reason ?
NOK - Photos
Because
How: How will it be done ?
Therefore
Show when WHY ?
How much: What do you expect to achieve ? Containment started Time
Because 2
- No Blame!
- You can influence it Therefore
Step 3 PROBLEM ANALYSIS & BREAKDOWN WHY ?
- Will change the way we do things Cannot
Because 1 - Will stop the Problem Influence
this
Breakdown the Current Situation or Gap Next level of breakdown, keep going until - It is not re-training.. Therefore
you have broken the problem down WHY ?
Use data and facts to determine:
-What is the problem you are going to tackle ? Root Causes
Use Callouts to 1 2
explain what you -When is it happening ?
concluded from the -How is it happening ?
data. -How much of the gap is it contributing to ? Step 6 DEVELOP & PLAN COUNTERMEASURES

Step 8 STANDARDISE & SHARE
"Problem to Summarise the Direct Cause(s)
Pursue" STANDARDISE SHARE

- Direct Cause 1
- What did you learn? - How will YOU share the learning points?
- Systematically elimate the - Direct Cause 2 - What are the next steps/actions? - Can we apply the result anywhere else inside your area and outside ?
Potential Causes - Sustainment: Standardise Countermeasures, update Management Routines - To similar Products, Processes, Departments, Plants, Regions, Divisions….
You do not need to show a Fishbone if you How much of the Gap do they - Update EOS process documents, FMEA's, Control Plans, other documents… - How can we leverage the benefit ?
can prove it with data already represent - MUST be actions (what, who, when) - MUST be actions (what, who, when)
