Synopsis
Encouraging efficiency, clarity, and disciplined thinking, A3 Problem Solving identifies a problem, describes the objective, and summarizes fact finding and action steps, all on a single A3-sized piece of paper. This approach provides all employees at all levels with a method to quickly identify a problem, analyze it to root cause, select appropriate countermeasures, and communicate necessary actions to decision makers. The A3 Workbook: Unlock Your Problem-Solving Mind is designed to teach A3 Problem Solving to workers at every level of an organization. Uniquely qualified to author this workbook, Daniel Matthews is an expert trainer with 30 years of training experience including Lean implementation and Training within Industry (TWI). Fourteen of those years he spent with the Toyota Company, which created and made use of the A3 as a core component of continuous quality improvement. This workbook provides a practical tool for solving specific problems or for making a specific proposal, while also encouraging the development of a corporate culture that empowers all employees to support continuous improvement. The workbook follows the progression of a basic A3 Problem Solving format, offering instructions every step of the way. To reinforce learning, it includes -- Case studies that readers can use to complete A3s Tips on how to improve the readability of A3s Examples of Problem Solving A3s, and a Proposal A3 Exercises to reinforce what's learned Worksheet templates that can be reproduced for future problem solving An effective problem-solving process is a critical part of implementing efficient business practices and a problem-solving culture is a fundamental component of empowering employees to support business improvements. Both of these components, taken together, can help any organization make continuous improvements on the long journey to creating a more productive and profitable business.

- 5***c (4)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe book doesn't exactly look like the cover, which is fine it's not a big deal but I think the biggest thing is that some of the pages are folded up at the creases and then there's some weird white stains on the top of a black cover which I find a little unsettling. I would say the overall I'm satisfied with the price compared to what it would cost on Amazon but I definitely think I could be a little cleaner. I did like the free discounts to doordash, chewy, and Factor. I might give those a go
