4) Evaluating the causes to determine the most likely ones to investigate further
The overall purpose is to use the visual diagram to systematically explore various categories of causes and potential root causes of problems.
The document discusses the stages of the problem solving process, including problem definition, problem analysis, identifying and evaluating solutions. It provides details on each stage: problem definition involves formally stating the problem, goals, and requirements. Problem analysis is decomposing the problem into parts to identify inputs, processes, and outputs. Identifying and evaluating solutions involves brainstorming possible solutions and evaluating them based on criteria like efficiency and feasibility.
The Collaboratory: Problem-Solving in the Learning EnvironmentGreg Louviere
This session focuses on the interjection of problem-solving into the learning environment, establishing the Collaboratory as an engine for creative decision-making within a collaborative setting. Of the numerous problem-solving methods available, this presentation examines solution-based "design thinking" in the learning context. Through research and case studies, the presentation will delve into the spatial features that successfully foster a problem-solving learning environment. In recent years, many institutions have created Colaboratories, including the Mayo Clinic, Harvard Innovation Lab, and Stanford d:school. The purpose of which is to investigate problems such as climate change, health care, sustainability, economic globalization, learning equity, business growth and entrepreneurship. This presentation will explain the reasons why the problem-solving environment of a Collaboratory can become a learning opportunity in Higher-Education and K-12 applications and, the reason for its proliferation among corporations, organizations and institutions.

8-D is a quality management tool and is a vehicle for a team to articulate thoughts and provides scientific determination to details of problems and provide solutions. Organizations can benefit from the 8-D approach by applying it to all areas in the company. The 8-D provides excellent guidelines allowing us to get to the root of a problem and ways to check that the solution actually works. Rather than healing the symptom, the illness is cured, thus, the same problem is unlikely to recur.

The Planning Stage:
The 8-D method of problem solving is appropriate in "cause unknown" situations and is not the right tool if concerns center solely on decision-making or problem prevention. 8-D is especially useful as it results in not just a problem-solving process, but also a standard and a reporting format. Does this problem warrant/require an 8D? If so comment why and proceed.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
