Overview
Typically, root cause analysis is taught by explaining a variety of tools that require users to gain considerable experience before being able to apply them correctly in the proper settings. What's Your Problem? Identifying and Solving the Five Types of Process Problems simplifies process problem solving and outlines specific techniques to help you identify the various types of process problems and solve them effectively and efficiently.
Arguing that there are only five types of process problems, the book explains that the Six Sigma methodology—define, measure, analyze, improve, control (DMAIC)—can be vastly simplified for learning, applying, teaching, and mentoring. It identifies the five types of process problems and describes how to solve them using a three-step procedure:
- Identify the type of problem
- Find the root cause
- Address the root cause
