Discuss one project where you used a problem-solving approach to address what turned out to be common-cause variation, or where you used a process improvement approach to deal with a special cause.
If you do not have a personal experience that echoes either of these situations, you may use Internet to search for a case that reflects either of these situations.
Examples:
a. one’s personal investment strategy since 2008
b. reducing waiting times at the local hospital or emergency room
c. reducing difficulties trying to connect to a Wi-Fi Internet provider.
Answer the following questions:
Question 1: Describe the experience in the project.
Question 2:What were the solutions used to address the problem?
Question 3:Was the case you described a special-cause or common-cause?
Question 4:Do you feel the solution or approach used appropriate for the cause?
Question 5:What would you do if you could do it again?
Question 6:What conclusions can you draw from the problem-solving or process-improvement techniques?
Note: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment. In your original work, you may use aspects of existing processes from either your current or a former place of employment. However, you must remove any and all identifying information that would allow you someone to discern the organization that you have used.
