Steps of Toyotas Practical Problem Solving


1. Pick Up the Problem: Problem Consciousness
Identify the problem that is the priority.

2. Grasp the Situation (Go and See)


Clarify the problem.

What should be happening?


What is actually happening?
Break the problem into individual problems if necessary.

If necessary use temporary measures to contain the abnormal


occurrence until the root cause can be addressed.
Locate the point of cause of the problem. Do not go into cause
investigation until you find the point of cause.
Grasp the tendency of the abnormal occurrence at the point of cause.

3. Investigate Causes
Identify and confirm the direct cause of the abnormal occurrence.
Conduct a 5-Why investigation to build a chain of cause/effect
relationships to root cause.
Stop at the cause that must be addressed to prevent recurrence.

Steps of Toyotas Practical Problem Solving


4. Develop and Test Countermeasures
Take one specific action to address the root cause.
Try to change only one factor at a time, so you can
see correlation.
5. Follow Up
Monitor and confirm results.
Standardize successful countermeasures.
Reflect. What did we learn during this problemsolving process?

The Five Questions of a Coaching Cycle

1. What is the target condition? (The Challenge)


What do we expect to be happening?

2. What is the actual condition now?


Is the description of the current condition measurable?
What did we learn from the last step?
Go and see for yourself. Do not rely on reports.

3. What problems or obstacles are now preventing


you from reaching the target condition? Which
one are you addressing now?
Observe the process or situation carefully.
Focus on one problem or obstacle at a time.
Avoid Pareto paralysis. Do not worry too much about
finding the biggest problem right away. If you are
moving ahead in fast cycles, you will find it soon.

The Five Questions of a Coaching Cycle


4. What is your next step? (Start of next PDCA cycle)
Take only one step at a time, but do so in rapid cycles.
The next step does not have to be the most beneficial, biggest, or
most important. Most important is that you take a step.
Many next steps are further analysis, not countermeasures.
If next step is more analysis, what do we expect to learn?
If next step is a countermeasure, what do we expect to happen?

5. When can we go and see what we have learned from taking


that step?
As soon as possible. Today is not too soon.
How about we go and take that step now?
(Strive for rapid cycles!)
