Applications/Examples of results
Essential for problem-solving are "root cause analysis" and "hypothesis skills." In a QC story, we grasp the reality of the problem through numerical data and repeatedly ask "why" to identify the true cause. Taking measures without understanding the root cause will not lead to fundamental solutions. Next, the important aspect is hypothesis skills. We anticipate in advance "what outcomes or problems may arise from implementing this measure" and verify the pros and cons. Then, we create an execution plan, check the results, and establish a system to prevent recurrence. What is required of a leader is not the ability to point out problems, but the ability to discern causes and outline a path to resolution. Around us, there are always infinite "problems," "factors (root causes)," and corresponding "hypotheses." Next time, I will discuss "What are the basics of a leader who moves a team?"
