Practical Problem Solving

COURSE DURATION : Online-5 Hours

Practical Problem Solving (PPS) is a structured, systematic approach (often an 8-step Lean methodology from Toyota) to define, analyze, and solve problems by finding and fixing root causes, not just symptoms, to prevent recurrence, ensuring shared understanding, focusing on facts, and promoting continuous improvement through clear steps like clarifying the problem, root cause analysis (e.g. 5 Whys), developing countermeasures, and monitoring results.

Course Outline Practical Problem-Solving Online Course

In this online Practical Problem-Solving course, Lean expert Ron Pereira introduces the concept of PPS and how its core principles can be applied to solve the problems your organization deals with each day, no matter their size.

Here’s a quick overview of what’s covered in this course series:

• How to define a prob­lem and why it mat­ters. We’ll also introduce the concept of Practical Problem Solving (PPS) and its role in Lean management.
• The PDCA cycle and its four phases.
• You’ll learn Toy­ota’s 8‑step prac­ti­cal prob­lem solv­ing method­ol­o­gy and how it’s used by Lean prac­ti­tion­ers around the world. We’ll introduce each stage one segment at a time to reinforce key concepts.
• Dif­fer­ent approach­es for solv­ing a prob­lem, includ­ing Pare­to charts, fish­bone dia­grams, dot plots, run charts, and more.
• How to eval­u­ate the process and stan­dard­ize results.
• How to use problem-solving as a learning tool that can help you get better results from your Lean management strategy.

Course Highlights
