In this post of my series on the Toyota Practical Problem Solving (PPS), we finally get to the part many were excitedly waiting for—the development of countermeasures and their implementation. Some people like this part of actually doing the improvement (and hence finally the “Do” part of PDCA) so much that they skip the “Plan” part almost entirely. Don’t do that! Properly prepare and analyze before implementing a countermeasure. Without the plan, the countermeasure may be flawed.| AllAboutLean.com
In this series of posts I go through the Eight Disciplines Problem Solving (8D) in more detail. In my last post, I talked about D4: Root Cause Analysis and Escape Points, which is almost two separate points. In this post I will go into more detail of D5: Develop Permanent Solution and D6: Implement Permanent Solution. My next post will look at the last two disciplines of the 8D with D7: Prevent Recurrence and D8: Close problem and Recognize Contributors. Read on!| AllAboutLean.com
