Course Introduction
4 Step Rapid Problem Solving – Skill Level 2: Understanding
Please complete our FREE Skill Level 1: Knowledge course before starting this Skill Level 2: Understanding course. This course will give you deeper understanding of how to apply the 4 steps of the Rapid Problem Solving Method.
Problem Solving is the number one skill to develop in people who want to apply lean thinking & practise within their organisation.
Why? Because the starting point for lean is understanding what situational problems you need to solve and following a robust method to solve them – rather than jumping to solutions. Therefore, if you can engage everyone in identifying and solving problems you will deliver more value to your customers and organisation.
Skill Level 2: Understanding

You will also gain some practical experience by completing an RPS Quadrant Chart from a manufacturing based case study exercise and then compare it with our answer!
