8 step Problem solving Method.pdf

This document outlines the 8 step problem solving method taught in the Lean Systems Program. It begins with learning goals which are to deepen awareness of the importance of the 8 step process, apply it to work situations, experience how the A3 tool communicates the process, and apply it in the work environment. It then details each of the 8 steps which are to clarify the problem, break down the problem, set a target, analyze the root cause, develop countermeasures, see the countermeasures through, monitor the results and processes, and standardize successful processes. Examples are provided to illustrate how to apply each step. Guiding principles are also discussed such as using facts, thorough communication, and addressing the root cause not symptoms.

Lean Systems Program Learning Goals • Deepen your awareness of the importance of the 8 step process to effective problem solving • Apply the process to your own work situation during class discussion • Experience how the A-3 tool communicates the process thinking • Apply in the work environment 2
Lean Systems Program 8 Step Process for Problem Solving Steps Depth Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Step 8 Zero level Go deeply on each step Complete Root Cause Toyota strength- standardize 8 Step Problem Solving Process 3
Lean Systems Program Guiding Principles Company Culture issue—follow each step completely Use steps as a “check-sheet” 4
Lean Systems Program 1) Customer viewpoint Think and act for the customers **Following process is the customer Guiding Principles 5
Lean Systems Program Guiding Principles 2) Confirm the Purpose of Your Work Constantly question the purpose Seek your own answers Keep the overall goal and purpose in focus 6
Lean Systems Program Guiding Principles 3) Ownership and Responsibility You are responsible for your work success Take pride in your work Ask: “What can we do something about - how can we improve our work?” 7
Lean Systems Program Guiding Principles 3) Ownership and Responsibility Do not blame people Appreciate people When people detect problems, 8
Lean Systems Program Guiding Principles 4) Visualization Make results and data visible Clarify problems for everyone to see Information is timely Data is understandable to the work group 9
Lean Systems Program Any variation hints there is a problem: 4) Visualization Guiding Principles Why is variation happening? Variation in the workload Team member has trouble Equipment or parts vary Key Point: look for early indicators “near miss” thinking 10
Lean Systems Program Guiding Principles 5) Judgment Based on Facts Without guessing or assuming Go and See at the work place, get out of the meeting room (Genchi Genbutsu) “Get Your Boots on!” Investigate 11
Lean Systems Program Guiding Principles 6) Think and Act Persistently Think deeply Complete each step of problem solving process Don’t give up until results meet goal Good Process=Good Results! 12
Lean Systems Program Guiding Principles 7) Speedy Action in a Timely Manner Be adaptable to the work process needs - take action quickly Keep at it until TRUE countermeasures are in place -that which if implemented prevents problem from returning If necessary, use TEMPORARY measures -when a problem occurs, take action quickly 13
Lean Systems Program Temporary Measure Action to stop or contain the problem--can add necessary extra work to the process ( + $ / + / +  ) • When a problem occurs, take action quickly • Purpose is to contain the problem, not solve it 14
Lean Systems Program Temporary Measure Example Problem Difference between “Temporary Measure" and “Countermeasures” (Countermeasure) shield limit switch from coolant Machine over travels Limit switch not activated (Fact) Why? (Temporary measure) Replace the limit switch Limit switch arm is Frozen (fact) Limit switch is in Coolant air flow Why ? Why? Prevents the recurrence Root Cause 15
Lean Systems Program Temporary Measure Matrix Select the optimal containment action on the following criteria: – Simplicity – Minimal modification to current process – Time to implement Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Simplicity 10 8 7 Modification 9 10 5 Time 10 9 7 29 27 17 Rate each option relative to each other for each criteria Sum the score and select the option with the highest score 16
Lean Systems Program Temporary Measure Implementation Plan Problem Identified Temporary Identified Temporary Implemented Follow up Complete 17
Lean Systems Program Guiding Principles 8) Thorough Communication Thoroughly and sincerely communicate Involve all stakeholders Japanese concept of “Nemawashi” 18
Lean Systems Program • Find the problem • Fix the problem • Keep the problem from coming back Guiding Principles 19
Lean Systems Program What Defines a problem in the 8 Step method? “No one has more trouble than the person who claims to have no trouble.” (Having no problems is the biggest problem of all.) by Taiichi Ohno Problems are the path toward improvement 20
Lean Systems Program What Defines a problem in the 8 Step method? A problem is … The current situation gap to the standard = PROBLEM • Fact based • Discovery driven Standard Current Situation Gap = Problem 21
Lean Systems Program What Defines a problem in the 8 Step Method? Non Value Added Work = Waste Waste is any factor which does not contribute to the process by adding value. The goal of Lean is to eliminate any factors which raise cost without adding value to the product. 22

Lean Systems Program Example of Problem A-3 Report 28
Lean Systems Program Step 1) Clarify the Problem 8 Steps Proceedings Step 1. Clarify the Problem (1) Clarify the “Ultimate Goal” of your responsibilities & work (2) Clarify the “Standard” of your work (3) Clarify the “Current Situation” of your work (4) Visualize the gap between the “Current Situation” and the “Standard” 29
Lean Systems Program What Defines a problem in the 8 Step method? Standard Current Situation Gap = Problem Ultimate Goal Important to the ultimate goal? What is the standard? Visualize (Make Explicit) 30
Lean Systems Program Step 1) Clarify the Problem .3 .1 .2 .5 .4 Aug Sep Oct Nov The Standard The Current Situation Defects Visualize the gap between the “Current Situation” and the “Standard” Problem Visualize the gap between the current situation and the standard 31
Lean Systems Program Step 1) Clarify the Problem Process1. Clarify the “Ultimate Goal” of your responsibilities & work To meet Production Plans My work & Responsibilities To provide customers with highly functional and high-quality cars at reasonable prices in a timely manner Ultimate Goal To meet customer demand My job’s purpose 32
Lean Systems Program Example: Step 1 1. Clarify the Problem Ultimate Goal: Assure TMMK cars meet customer requirement for quality Standard: Zero audit defects from sealer area Current Situation: 7 water leaks on 7/28 15 10 5 0 7 Actual Standard Gap=7 0 33
Lean Systems Program Example: Step 1 1. Clarify the Problem 100 80 60 40 20 0 2640 Current Standard Gap=(20%) 660 3300 100% 80% Ultimate Goal: TMs are compensated for work completed and paid timely and fairly Standard: 100% (3300) of TM’s paychecks are deposited error free Current Situation: 80% (2640) of TM’s paychecks are deposited error free 34
Lean Systems Program Step 2) Break Down the Problem Step 1. Clarify the problem (1) Clarify the “Ultimate Goal” of your responsibilities & work (2) Clarify the “Standard” of your work (3) Clarify the “Current Situation” of your work (4) Visualize the gap between the “Current Situation” and the “Standard” 8 Steps Proceedings Step 2. Break down the problem (1) Break down the problem (2) Identify the prioritized problem (3) Specify the point of occurrence by checking the process through GENCHI GENBUTSU 35
Lean Systems Program Step 2: Break Down the Problem • Formulating a clear, concise statement from your Gap • The statement describes the difference between the standard and current situation • During this step, break the large problem into smaller, more specific problems • If you can’t describe it, you can’t solve it! 36
Lean Systems Program Step 2) Break Down the Problem Problem Problem Problem Big Problem Problem Problem Problem Problem Problem Problem Problem What Where When Who Prioritized Problem Prioritized Problem at the Point of Occurrence (PoO) NOT Why! 37
Lean Systems Program Step 2) Break Down the Problem Narrow the problem sufficiently Classify and quantify Priority decision: tackle the biggest impact problem FIRST 1 in Mohican 5 Tail light 1 side Many water leaks in the tail light Process 1 on Avalon 6 on Camry Vehicle Type 7 Water leaks Prioritized Problem 38
Lean Systems Program Step 2) Break Down the Problem Division points to break down the problem (classify) ▪By region ▪By age ▪By vehicle model ▪By gender ▪By month ▪By vehicle type etc. Car sales not meeting the target Not achieving cost targets  By department (group)  By process  By equipment  By expenditure type  By month  By types of cutting tools, etc. 39

Lean Systems Program Step 4. Analyze the Root Cause 1) Examine the Point of Occurrence and think of possible causes without prejudice (2) Gather facts through GENCHI GENBUTSU and keep asking “Why?” (3) Specify the root cause Step 4) Analyze the Root Cause (1) Make a commitment (2) Set measurable, concrete and challenging targets Step 3. Set a target 8 Steps Proceedings (1) Break down the problem (2) Identify the prioritized problem (3) Specify the point of occurrence by checking the process through GENCHI GENBUTSU Step 1. Clarify the problem Step 2. Break down the problem (1) Clarify the “Ultimate Goal” of your responsibilities & work (2) Clarify the “Standard” of your work (3) Clarify the “Current Situation” of your work (4) Visualize the gap between the “Current Situation” and the “Standard” 56
Lean Systems Program Step 4) Analyze the Root Cause Prioritized Problem at the Point of Occurrence Possible cause Possible cause Possible cause Possible cause Think of all meaningful possible causes Not a fact Not a fact Not a fact Fact Repeat Possible cause Possible cause Possible cause Not a fact Not a fact Fact Possible cause Possible cause Not a fact Fact Root cause Time for WHY Go and See to confirm 57 Idle vs. informed brainstorming
Lean Systems Program Step 4) Analyze the Root Cause 1) Confirm the situation at the point of occurrence – Investigate the potential cause efficiently – Problem occurs continuously or erratically? – Problem occurs in repeatable cycles? – Look at “connecting points” between processes – Ask: “What has changed?” 58
Lean Systems Program 2) Without any prejudice Highly skilled employee, so can’t be the cause Always been this way, so can’t be the cause I just do/don’t feel this could be the cause Step 4) Analyze the Root Cause Experiences and intuition are important, but do not analyze root cause without thinking deeply 59
Lean Systems Program Environment Method Material Machine Man (Human) Step 4) Analyze the Root Cause 3) Use “4M1E” to think about possible causes 60
Lean Systems Program Step 4) Analyze the Root Cause Standard work being followed? Man (Human): RPMs correct? Machine: Correct compound? Material: Polishing standard correct? Method: Work place temperature correct? Environment: (Example) Bad polishing of painted parts 61
Lean Systems Program Step 4) Analyze the Root Cause Example : Hand was caught in the clamp (Why?) (Why?) Hand was under the clamp The clamp moved T/M was in a hurry, turned on the switch, then tried to adjust part after part had shifted Simply describe the facts 62
Lean Systems Program Why? A fuse in the robot has blown. Why? Circuit overloaded. Why? The bearings have damaged one another and locked up. Why? There was insufficient lubrication on the bearings. Why? Oil pump on robot is not circulating sufficient oil. Why? Pump intake is clogged with metal shavings. Why? No filter on pump intake (as designed) Root Cause Step 4) Analyze the Root Cause Example: Welding robot stops in the middle of its operation. 63
64 How to Proceed with Step 4 Action Items Do These Things Item 1 Brainstorm possible causes Think of all meaningful possible causes Use best brainstorming • Fast paced • Time limited • Don’t stop to discuss • Everyone participates Narrow the list (combine/eliminate) to select possible causes Item 2 Get input from job performers Go to work area or bring key people to classroom start with prioritized problem at point of occurrence Show the narrowed list of possible causes Ask: are these real/factual? What are other causes? Item 3 Select the most likely cause Decide which is factual and within your control Ask why the selected most likely cause is chosen Repeat at each level until arriving at root cause – make “decision tree” Item 4 Create “why chain” apply “therefore test” Transfer results from “decision tree” into “5 Why chain” Check logic with “therefore test” Repeat/do over until logic flow is clear to the root cause Two Products for Presenting Step 4 1. Root cause decision tree (result of brainstorming); be able to explain what was ruled out as well as what was selected 2. “5 Why Chain,” root cause clearly labeled, with “therefore test” (see slides 63 & 64)
Lean Systems Program Example through Step 4 Step 4) Analyze the Root Cause Waterleaks on the left side tail light T/M leaving gaps in finish T/M not turning spatula into the seam T/M not instructed in proper angle of finish when trained No specification in STW for proper spatula angle when finishing ROOT CAUSE 4. RootCause Analysis *Apply the “therefore” test to check thinking 65 5 water leaks in the tail light area
Lean Systems Program Example through Step 4 Step 4) Analyze the Root Cause *Apply the “therefore” test to check thinking 4. Root Cause Analysis FMLA paperwork is not received from TMR by the payroll deadline Form doesn't pass review Form was submitted incorrectly Part "D" not complete T/M thought HR was to complete Instructions not clear in Part "D" 66
Lean Systems Program Step 5. Develop countermeasures (1) Develop as many potential countermeasures as possible (2) Select the highest value added countermeasures (3) Build consensus with others (4) Develop a clear and detailed action-plan (1) Examine the point of occurrence and think of possible causes without prejudice (2) Gather facts through GENCHI GENBUTSU and keep asking “Why?” (3) Specify the root cause Step 4. Analyze the root cause Step 5) Develop Countermeasures 8 Steps Proceedings (1) Make a commitment (2) Set measurable, concrete and challenging targets Step 3. Set a target (1) Break down the problem (2) Identify the prioritized problem (3) Specify the point of occurrence by checking the process through GENCHI GENBUTSU Step 1. Clarify the problem Step 2. Break down the problem (1) Clarify the “Ultimate Goal” of your responsibilities & work (2) Clarify the “Standard” of your work (3) Clarify the “Current Situation” of your work (4) Visualize the gap between the “Current Situation” and the “Standard” 67
Lean Systems Program Step 5) Develop Countermeasures Root Cause Countermeasure Countermeasure Countermeasure Countermeasure Countermeasure Countermeasure Countermeasure Countermeasure with the highest value-added Procedure for developing countermeasures 68
Lean Systems Program Step 5) Develop Countermeasures Develop as many potential countermeasures as possible • Think: “what will eliminate the Root Cause” • Don’t deny potential countermeasures with preconceived ideas • Key points when developing ideas • Clarify the variables/conditions • What can I change? Get advice from others • Are there any previously developed (and effective) countermeasures 69
Lean Systems Program Step 5) Develop Countermeasures [Root cause] The pallet storage area is not large enough Develop as many potential countermeasures as possible Move to a more spacious place Where Make more space by tidying up pallets How Make more space by making pallet shape more compact What When Potential Countermeasure Perspective Reduce number of pallets by changing conveyance timing 70
Lean Systems Program Step 5) Develop Countermeasures Select the highest value added Countermeasures Evaluate all potential Countermeasures 71 Consider Question Effectiveness Does it truly eliminate the Root Cause? Does it meet the Target? Cost/Manpower Does it consider cost and time ? Does it consider the number of people required to implement/sustain Risk What are the risks when implementing Safety? Quality? Workability? What is the impact on previous or following work processes?
Lean Systems Program Step 5) Develop Countermeasures Make an evaluation matrix: Countermeasure for assembling mismatched parts Confirm the facts by interviewing related people and departments Select the highest value-added Countermeasures Technical difficulty Quality problem Safety problem Workability Problems to other processes Change parts color Change parts shape Change sequence of operation Overall judgment Cost / Man-hour Risk Expected effort Options Factors X X X X X X Good Acceptable NG Optimal 72
Lean Systems Program Build consensus with others Present to management for approval to go forward— A-3 format is a standardized and efficient tool • Explain and discuss plans with all relevant parties • Set up a cross functional committee • Organize the meeting to present the analysis & ideas • Hold update meetings to share latest info/progress Note: thru Process step 5, planning phase is completed Step 5) Develop Countermeasures 73
Lean Systems Program Step 5) Develop Countermeasures (Example)Action Plan Determine the best color for parts per model Action items Prepare trial parts A B August September 1W 2W 3W 4W 1W 2W 3W 4W 1W 2W 3W Discuss color Discuss and decide in a team meeting Request to prepare Confirm test results Report to managers Test by using trial parts Operator July Clarify the roles and responsibilities of people and departments involved Clarify the schedule and order of actions to implement Develop a clear and detailed action-plan When creating the action-plan, be sure to clearly identify the four W’s of the countermeasures Who – What – Where – When? 74
Lean Systems Program Example: Step 5 Make a Plan 75
Lean Systems Program Example: Step 5 5. Countermeasure Options & Evaluation Effectiveness X O Budget O O O O Speed O O O Quality X O Overall Assessment X O Comments -Create awareness of enhancement -Help T/Ms who review board -Not helpful at home -Would document enhancement as new standard -Dependent on T/M reading it -Verbally communicate the enhancement -Cannot ensure that T/M will remember the instructions if not written down -Would document enhancement as new Standard while confirming the instructions Options Post clearer instructions on T/M board Update instructions on form Have TMR instruct T/M Update instructions on form along with TMR communications 76

Set a target (1) Break down the problem (2) Identify the prioritized problem (3) Specify the point of occurrence by checking the process through GENCHI GENBUTSU Step 1. Clarify the problem Step 2. Break down the problem (1) Clarify the “Ultimate Goal” of your responsibilities & work (2) Clarify the “Standard” of your work (3) Clarify the “Current Situation” of your work (4) Visualize the gap between the “Current Situation” and the “Standard” 85
Lean Systems Program (1) With all members united, implement countermeasures with speed and persistence (2) Share information with others by informing, reporting and consulting (3) Never give up, and proceed to the next step quickly Step 6. See countermeasures through Step 7) Evaluate Both Results and Processes 8 Steps Proceedings Step 7. Evaluate both results and processes (1) Evaluate the results and the processes, and share it with members involved (2) Evaluate from three key perspectives: customer’s, 8 step’s, and your own (3) Understand the reasons of success and failure 86
Lean Systems Program Step 7) Evaluate Both Results and Processes Did the results and processes achieve the target? Customer’s Perspective 8 Step ’s Perspective Your Own Perspective Evaluation Evaluation Evaluation What was the result? What was the process? ～Evaluate both results and processes and learn from both success and failure ～ 87
Lean Systems Program Step 7) Evaluate Both Results and Processes Result Target Result Target Not Achieved Evaluate whether or not the target was achieved 1) Evaluate the results Evaluate results and processes, and share it with stakeholders Target Achieved 88
Lean Systems Program Step 7) Evaluate Both Results and Processes 2) Evaluate the process for achieving the results What was most effective? Evaluate results and process, and share it with stakeholders Did we follow the Problem solving 8 steps completely? Did we analyze the true root cause? Machine modification Change the order of processes Change Material 89

    64 How to Proceedwith Step 4 Action Items Do These Things Item 1 Brainstorm possible causes Think of all meaningful possible causes Use best brainstorming • Fast paced • Time limited • Don’t stop to discuss • Everyone participates Narrow the list (combine/eliminate) to select possible causes Item 2 Get input from job performers Go to work area or bring key people to classroom start with prioritized problem at point of occurrence Show the narrowed list of possible causes Ask: are these real/factual? What are other causes? Item 3 Select the most likely cause Decide which is factual and within your control Ask why the selected most likely cause is chosen Repeat at each level until arriving at root cause – make “decision tree” Item 4 Create “why chain” apply “therefore test” Transfer results from “decision tree” into “5 Why chain” Check logic with “therefore test” Repeat/do over until logic flow is clear to the root cause Two Products for Presenting Step 4 1. Root cause decision tree (result of brainstorming); be able to explain what was ruled out as well as what was selected 2. “5 Why Chain,” root cause clearly labeled, with “therefore test” (see slides 63 & 64)
