Inculcate Effective Problem Solving • Enabler 1 • Capture Problems (A3) • Why? • Only Thinking Drives Sustainable Change • A3 formats are a waste-free way for report writing and communication • “By standardizing and making visible the process of identifying problems and formulating solutions, individuals and companies can execute to their ideal state.” • - Jamie Flinchbaugh • Author, “A3 Problem Solving” Applying Lean Thinking
Inculcate Effective Problem Solving • Challenge 1 • Capture Problems (A3) • Why? • Confusing (Definition and Use) • A3s evolved from the Toyota Production System in the early 1960s as a simple, concise method for process improvement. • The designation “A3” stands for the international size of the paper (11” x 17”) used to capture all the important information for easy understanding and decision making. • The key element is not the form itself but the thinking that goes into the problem analysis and resolution practice. • Common uses for A3s include: problem solving, proposals, project status and even value stream maps or hoshin planning.
Inculcate Effective Problem Solving Resource 1 Capture Problems (A3) For today's challenging business cycle, the A3 approach can offer faster, less bureaucratic results, building on more frequent cycles of learning through revision than DMAIC. “Understanding A3 Thinking” Sobek and Smalley “Managing to Learn” John Shook $ 38.00 $ 29.00 used $ 50.00 $ 40.00 used
