The Learn-Lean A3 Problem Solving Set is the powerful tool for a structured problem solving approach and root cause analysis. The elements of the A3 Problem Solving Set are precisely tuned to each other. The A3 Problem Solving Block represents a "guided tour" through all steps from problem description to implementation and standardization.

This visual method is complemented by a set of seven magnetic method cards stowed in a functional collection box, magnetic as well. Each of the seven method cards describes an approved

problem solving method. In addition you will find a magnetic history box for archival storage of completed A3 problem solutions. By means of a fixing device on front of the history box you will be able to complete the A3 Problem Solving Block directly at the board. Thus any specific problem you are currently working on easily can be recognized at first sight. By simply turning pages of the wire bound block you gain an overview of all current problems. The tabs of the A3 Problem Solving sheets can be teared off, thus serving as a register when you create an archive in the history box.

The scope of supply contains: 10 A3 Problem Solving Blocks, each consisting of 8 prepunched, individually detachable A3 Problem Solving sheets, packed together with history box, collection box, and method cards in a cardboard.

10-pack A3 Problem Solving Blocks, history box, and collection box with method cards are also available separately.

Controllable and stable processes are an essential basis for a successful corporate development. The Lean philosophy offers positive support in this matter, aiming among others at a zero defects principle in daily business life.

A lot of barriers must be overcome along the way to a company that identifies problems, analyzes the root causes, and works towards a sustainable solution. An adequate handling of problems and structured

solutions are a daily challenge. A change of habitual thought patterns of employees to an active zero defects culture is essential for reaching this target. Sustainability will only be achieved, if companies devote themselves to this topic in a structured, periodical and recurrent manner.

It is for this reason that Learn-Lean offers the A3 Problem Solving Set, a standardized tool, that has achieved remarkable success in many companies.

The set includes the problem solving methods 5W, flow diagrams, information structure analysis, ISHIKAWA, PDCA, SIPOC, tally sheets, and pie charts. Once you are familiar with the A3, complex problems will be easier to solve. You are approaching the great target zero defects in all processes!

The History Box, equipped with a suspension device for the A3 Problem Solving Book, can be fixed on the magnetic board as required.
At first, define the problem in the appropriate field of the A3 Problem Solving Book. Then select a method suitable for analysis and problem solution. Affix the appropriate method card on the board.

There are no more obstacles for a structured problem solving!

Using a standardized procedure, the Problem Solving Book guides you through the different phases from problem description to implementation and standardization.

Completed sheets can be detached along the perforated line and stored in the history box for archiving.
