The Problem Solver
What does this even mean ?
What is a problem ?
What are different types of problems ?
What is a solver ?

Problem Solving and Process
What we need to recognize is that
most problems are associated with
processes.
Therefore, the Lean Problem Solver
needs to be a process thinker.

What is a process?

Brilliant Processes
Process Elements
Supplier
Input
Procedure
Timing
Output

Customer
If it’s all about processes, we should know what a process is:
Process: a systematic series of actions directed to some end.
Y = f(x) Business is about taking inputs and transforming them into outputs that our customer will see value in. How well we do this determines how well our organization performs.

Second Law of Thermodynamics
In a system, a process that occurs will tend to increase the total entropy of the universe.
Second law of thermodynamics
System: A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements forming a complex whole.
Entropy: A measure of the disorder or randomness in a closed system
What does this have to do with Problem Solving ?

Why is it critical to have formal problem solving models ?

ORLOE Problem Solving Model Do the Work & Identify the Problem
Plan & perform the work.Identify gap between plan vs. actual condition.
Define the Problem
Document & validate current state.Develop a clearly defined problem statement.
Determine Root Cause
Identify all possible causes to the problem.Isolate critical few root causes to the problem.
Identify Solutions
Develop solutions that address the root causes to the problem.Ensure the solutions support the entire value-stream.
Implement & Sustain the Solution
Communicate, train, and Implement the solution.Measure and monitor the impact of the solution.
