The document outlines an 8-step problem solving process known as the OODA Loop: 1. Observe the problem by clarifying it, breaking it down, and identifying performance gaps. 2. Orient by setting improvement targets to address the root causes, which are determined using tools like control charts. 3. Decide on corrective actions by selecting solutions, analyzing alternatives, and developing a consensus-based plan. 4. Act by taking action according to the plan, monitoring results, and implementing contingencies as needed.
