Course Introduction


A3 8 Step Practical Problem Solving – Skill Level 2: Understanding

A3 8 Step Practical 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 8 steps of the A3 Practical 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.

PPS A3 - Excellent Course

I found the course interesting and advanced in terms of problem solving tools. The A3 example is very good and complete. The step 2, containment was a new approach for me, it seems it needs to be exercised carefully, so some interim solutions could turn to permanent solutions. I will start using it, but I am going to develop an A3 example simpler.
