Lean Problem Solving

Successful manufacturers constantly focus on improving quality and on-time delivery while attempting to reduce operating costs. Resources are always in short supply, so effective, rapid problem-solving methods are critical. The Lean Problem Solving technique will teach your employees how to rapidly address manufacturing problems, effectively communicate solutions, and monitor results.

Catalyst Connection trainers present the technique using a hands-on approach. Your employees will learn to clearly define the problem in measurable terms; uncover potential root causes; determine the true root cause or causes; analyze alternative answers; develop implementation plans; and communicate key performance indicators. All information is recorded in a document printed on 11-by-17-inch paper, the size designated “A-3” by ISO 216. Your employees will apply the technique to a current real-life situation at your facility, and will receive case histories for continued study.
