Problem solving techniques
• Define the problem

• Look at potential causes for the problem

• Identify alternatives for approaches to resolve the problem

• Select an approach to resolve the problem

• Plan the implementation of the best alternative

• Monitor implementation of the plan

• Verify if the problem has been resolved or not

What is Judgment?
Judgement is a decision made in accordance to different perspectives depicted to
make a very sound conclusion on a certain matters wherein it is a final decision.

An opinion or decision that is formed after a period of thought or research for

example onboard ships on how to handle critical situations such as emergencies of
any type. Critical judgment is exercised and situations dealt accordingly. It is
judgment to be made by the Captain or someone responsible.

What is "reality judgment" and "value

judgment“
• Value judgment is a claim about something's moral,
practical, or aesthetic worth. Value judgments do not
simply describe the world; they prescribe certain attitudes or
behaviours toward the world.

• Reality judgment involves the changing social and natural

worlds.

Example: Ship Grounding
The ship accident owing to grounding of a ship is
often linked to the lack of navigational expertise and
alertness.
In this incident, the judgment is apparent on how to
handle the situation since it’s an accident that needs
to be tackled. On what to do and the attempts they
have made to ensure everyone’s safety.
