4.2 Solve problems
Problems, improvement, conditions, solutions
Where there is a problem, there is potential for improvement. Masaaki Imai
The problems can be classified into:
- external:
- product returns
- complaints
- grievances
- customer questions
- hazards, risks
- internal:
- defaults
- nonconformities
- failures
- anomalies
- incidents
- accidents
- malfunctions
- scraps
- hazards, risks
A problem can be compared to an illness. To heal you have to go through five stages:
- establish the diagnosis (identify the symptoms)
- find the causes
- choose treatment
- apply the treatment
- observe the treatment
For a problem that appears in production or during a service, we can transpose these steps into:
- describe the situation (identify and define the effects)
- look for root causes
- choose the solution (without forgetting to assess the associated risks)
- implement the action plan
- follow actions
Do not confuse root cause and source of the problem (the place where the problem manifests itself).
Some classic problem-solving tools with common points and specific points are PDCA, A 3, DMAIC and 8 D (see § 8.3 and § 8.4).
Analyzing the necessary information helps us understanding the meaning (the why) of each decision.
Working as a team and using the weighted voting method without moderation is a guarantee of making the right decisions and obtaining good results.
An example of decision-making using the weighted voting method can be found in annex 03.
Some conditions conducive to solving problems:
- have the necessary skills
- break down hierarchical barriers
- communicate freely
- leave aside the “a priori” and prejudices
- adopt the principles and language of the systems approach
- open the spirit of innovation
- don't be afraid to make mistakes
- know that results will be rewarded
The WWWWHHW, brainstorming (see § 8.4) and the Ishikawa diagram (see § 8.2), will help us identify and visualize the root causes of the problem.
The tool most often used to classify causes by priority is the Pareto chart (see § 8.2).
Choosing an appropriate solution can be done using a tool like the decision matrix (see § 8.3) to definitively eradicate the problem.
An activity in which the leader excels is teaching the tools, methods, best practices and tips to find the root causes of each problem that arises. Even if sometimes the solution is not obvious and requires a lot of effort, time and will.
Each failure has a root cause. Connie Borror
Failing to apply familiar solutions to problems is well illustrated by the joke of the drunk looking for his keys under a lamp post. When a passerby asks him what he is looking for the answer is. “My keys to get into my house”. The passerby asks. “But where did you lose them?” to which the man replies. “In front of my house”. “But why look here?” “Because I can see well here!”
Some basic truths about problems:
- a reported problem is better than a hidden problem:
- don't be afraid to reveal a problem
- do it in the simplest way possible
- a young problem is better than an old problem:
- resolve problems quickly
- monitor the actions implemented
- a single problem is better than a recurring problem:
- choose the best lasting solution
4.3 Future of the quality
Quality department, of and by quality, manager and leader
Quality is when the customer likes the product and the employee likes making the product
Thinking that doing quality means obtaining a certificate is a practice of the past. Sometimes it is necessary but it is by no means sufficient. This can be a good start, but it cannot be an end in itself.
Soon risk management will be widespread. Little by little, efficiency, performance and excellence will be essential. Compliance obligations will be replaced by the evaluation of the means put in place and the measurement of the results obtained. From constraint the notion of quality must become an axis of progress. Moving towards integrated QSEquality, safety, environment management (quality, safety, environment) facilitates the response to various regulatory requirementsexplicit or implicit need or expectation (see also ISO 9000, 3.1.2) and makes it possible to optimize (simplify) the management system.
Operational excellence (the EFQM approach) has become popular as a way to self-evaluate and compare yourself to the best, you should not deprive yourself of it, it can only be beneficial.
The sustainable development concept helps us to have a global approach to the business environment. We can look to the future with confidence by meeting the expectations of all stakeholders. To do this, we must review our copy (vision, mission, values, strategy, policy, etc.) and find new compromises on new bases.
The future of the quality department is summed up in its purpose: to permanently reduce the gap between the quality achieved and the quality expected by the customeranyone who receives a product (see also ISO 9000, 3.3.5) or in other words to do better, cheaper and faster than competitors thanks to management by quality.
From quality department we move towards a network:
- support
- orientation
- coordination
- backing
- help
- mutual aid
- animation
- sharing
Just as internal audits are carried out by members of all departments, problem solving, handling of customer feedback and nonconformities must be done by the teams who are at the origin of the root causes.
Some differences between quality management and management by quality are shown in table 4-1 (see also table 3-1).
Table 4-1. Management of and by quality
Domain | Quality management (system approach) | Management by quality (excellence approach) |
Purchasing | Forecasts | Customer demand |
Goal | Improved effectiveness | Improved efficiency |
Approach | Changes | Improvements in small steps |
Documentation | Static | Dynamic (visual management) |
Requirements | Product, system | Customer, company |
Hierarchy | Organization in silos | Transversal structure |
Way to explain | How | Why |
Measurement | Compliance with requirements | Evaluation of results |
Orientation | Products, customers | Market, sustainable development |
Problem solving | Quality department | Team members |
Responsibility for quality | Quality department | Team members |
Style | “Carrot and stick” | Team involvement |
Management system | Policy, management review | Vision, mission and shared values |
We can find differences between manager and leader. The manager is rather classified in the traditional company, the leader is rather classified in the liberated company.
Figure 4-1 shows the boss (manager) compared to the leader (from the page):
Figure 4-1. The boss and the leader
Table 4.2 shows some differences between the manager and the leader.
Table 4-2. Manager and leader

The manager says “I” | The leader says “we” |

The manager tackles the effects | The leader tackles the root causes |
The manager does things right | The leader does the right things |
The manager accepts and maintains the status quo | The leader manages change and innovates |
The manager relies on control | The leader relies on trust |
For the manager people are a resource | For the leader people are unique |
The manager determines the rules and methods | The leader creates favorable conditions for people to give their best |
The manager is responsible for achieving results | The leader develops the vision of the future, shows the right direction |
The manager spreads the corporate culture | The leader builds the corporate culture |
