Toyota Practical Problem Solving Training
Don't know where to start? Let us guide you!
While most companies recognize the importance of structured problem-solving, many struggle with where to begin. Faced with a flood of potential issues, tools, and directions, teams often feel paralyzed — like a deer in headlights. Sound familiar? If so, this course will act as your compass, guiding you through the complexity with a clear, methodical approach to solving problems effectively.
We will start with a systematic approach
The Toyota approach is very structured and clear
The Toyota Practical Problem Solving (PPS) is a structured, methodical approach, whose overarching framework is the PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) cycle as applied in an A3 report. In contrast to the common (Western) industrial approach (brief problem analysis … brainstorming … implementation), the Toyota method stands out for its very structured, methodical problem identification process.
The A3 report spends a lot of time on understanding the problem
Understand the root cause before you act
It’s remarkable how much effort Toyota dedicates to narrowing down the problem before addressing the root cause and potential corrective actions. While the rest of the world typically rushes to implement the quickest possible solution, often neglecting the “check” and “act” steps after implementation, the PPS methodology explicitly plans for these steps in order to identify any need for further adjustments.
The Toyota approach is different—and successful!
Strengthen your skills in several case studies
We will explore this approach through a series of realistic in-depth case studies. These range from guided, beginner-friendly scenarios to complex, real-world challenges that require independent problem-solving, just like in the real world.
Throughout this course, we guide you step by step, helping you build the skills and mindset needed to tackle real challenges. And then it’s your turn. take what you’ve learned, apply it in your company, and start driving real improvements.
