Why should you attend?
This comprehensive training program equips participants with a systematic approach to identifying, analyzing, and resolving complex problems in electronics manufacturing environments. The methodology emphasizes structured problem-solving techniques that move beyond quick fixes to address root causes effectively. Participants begin by learning to properly define problems as quantifiable gaps rather than symptoms, developing clear problem statements that capture business impact. The course progresses through process mapping techniques, teaching learners to visualize current situations through flowcharts and identify critical defect zones. Data collection methods including tally sheets, run charts, and trend analysis provide the foundation for evidence-based decision making. Advanced analytical tools form the core of the methodology, including Fishbone diagrams for cause brainstorming, the 5 Why technique for deeper investigation, and Pareto charts for prioritizing issues. Participants master root cause identification through scatter diagrams and cross-validation techniques, building compelling problem stories supported by concrete evidence. The solution phase emphasizes creative brainstorming, feasibility analysis, and structured decision-making using scoring matrices. Implementation planning covers action plan development, stakeholder engagement, and resource allocation. The final phases focus on measuring results through Key Performance Indicator comparison, standardizing successful solutions through documentation and visual controls, and establishing sustainable audit systems for continuous improvement.
