A3 Reporting Tool
• Is 11 x 17 paper which is big enough for
the required information but allows you
to keep it on 1 page
• Is a living document; use it at every step
• Write in PENCIL – you won’t cheat with
smaller font sizes and it encourages you
to draw pictures to describe the issue
and improvement
Information should flow and be
simple
PLAN
Target Condition
Background (What is the issue?)

Business Case (Why are you
doing this?)

Important Tips
Problems can stem from over planning or
under planning—important to find the
right PDCA balance -- A decade to learn
to “Plan,” a decade to learn to “Do” . . .
Constrained resources can lead to a lot
of doing, and not much else
Documentation is key to PDCA, so that
knowledge can be recorded and
internalize
