Problem-solving in every field is a very important strategy in our personal and business lives. Every person faces so many problems in life with this purpose every person should learn problem-solving strategies. This strategy is also called the why and why analysis report.
Here we introduce some problem-solving steps. These steps can be helpful for you in your problem-solving.
Problem-Solving Process
1. Clarify the Problem.
First of all, we should clarify the problem and notice the problem and issues. Problem definition is the first step to problem-solving.
2. Break Down the Problem.
Find out the Impact of this problem on your personal and business life. If you are a manager or a leader you should know the problems and their impacts and results in business.
3. Set Target.
Problem-solving in every field strategy may not be helpful in every field but this is surprisingly helpful for you. A person who faces the problem is his first target to clear the fault for a long time or forever.
4. Root Cause Analysis.
Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a very deep topic to find out the problem’s main reasons and the reasons should be authentic and valid. To find out the root cause of the problem firstly know the work history on this fault and remember these points.
- Action taken against the fault History
- Who takes these actions at fault?
- When taking these actions on the fault
- Outcomes from these actions
5. Develop Counter Measure.
6. See Counter Measure.
7. Monitor Progress and Share Results.
8. Standardise and Share Best Practices.
Example of Problem-Solving
Step: 1. Clarify the Problem.
| Problem: Multi forms problem on the start of each set on track. Standard: Single-form movement on each set start.  |
Step: 2. Break Down the Problem.
| VISUAL PRESENTATION Bracket Loses  |
Step: 3. For problem-solving Set Target.
| Do What | Eliminate |
| To What | Minimize the length of the unloading chain, as it has been increased due to continuously working. |
| How Much | Zero |
| By When | Date:(dd/mm/yy) |
Step: 4. Root Cause Analysis.
Potential Causes
| Action Takin | Who | When | Outcome |
| 1. Stoper jack adjustment | Umar Taskeer | date | Not Resolved |
| 2. Oiling Problem on track | Aamir Zia | Not Resolved | |
| 3. Clutch problem | Joe Summer | Not Resolved | |
| 4. Check counter sensor | Khan Baba | Not Resolved | |
| 5. Unloading chain tightend | Aamir Zia | Not Resolved | |
| 6. Stoper jack lever adjustment | Aamir Zia | Not Resolved | |
| 7. Unloading chain sensor adjustment | Aamir Zia | 5. Unloading chain tightened |
Step: 5. Develop Counter Measure.
| Short Term Adjustment of the sensor of the unloading chain. Long Term Unloading chain replacement |
Step: 6. See Counter Measure.
| Sr# | What | Where | Who | When |
| 1 | Adjustment of unloading chain stoping sensor | Machiune#1 | Aamir Zia | Date |
Step: 7. Monitor Progress and Share Results.
| Sr# | Counter Measure | Status |
| 1 | Adjustment of unloading chain’s stoping jack sensor | Done |
| 2 | Replacement of unloading chain faulty set | Not done |
Step: 8. Standardise and Share Best Practice.
| To avoid loose and over-tighting the unloading chain. maintain proper oiling of the unloading chain to decrease friction. |
