Course description
Problem-solving is a skill that can benefit you and your organization, whatever your role or function. The 8 disciplines can easily be applied at all levels within any organization, and at the same time provide documented evidence of improvements.
You’ll be introduced to the methodology designed to find the root cause of a problem, devise a short-term fix and implement a long-term solution to prevent recurring problems.
It provides a systematic and effective approach to solve a problem, and promotes the use of expertise and experience within an organization to address the root cause.
Developed by the Ford Motor Company and commonly used by the automotive industry, the use of the 8 disciplines is now popular in other industries thanks to its proven methodology.
