Analytic Problem Solving
Complete a Root Cause Analysis Training
Identify, diagnose, and solve product defects, process, and equipment problems through root cause analysis training. Our Analytic Problem Solving (APS) seminar is an in-depth training program that combines lectures, case studies, and on-the-job applications. It holds the basic theory that the only way to resolve a problem is to eliminate the root cause. To achieve this, the APS program utilizes a common language and systematic problem-solving approach.
Why Focus on Problem Solving
Today’s competitive workplace environment demands quick and comprehensive solutions to problems. Effective problem-solving is a common denominator among leading organizations for the following reasons:
- Individual employees are more confident, efficient, and productive when equipped with basic problem-solving skills.
- Work groups are more effective and produce better results when trained to solve problems as a team.
APS Objectives
In our APS class, participants will learn a structured, disciplined problem-solving method based on the following:
- How to identify/recognize a problem
- How to ask better questions to collect key information
- How to use the key information to diagnose problems
- How to verify the real cause before taking action
- How to determine/eliminate root cause
