Course Description:

In this course, participants will master how to define their production problems, to understand their root causes, and how best to implement solutions. Participants will learn to apply various models and techniques to enhance the creativity of their teams in solving problems and implementing decisions. Participants will also have the opportunity to develop a concrete action plan for achieving their goals

Course Goal:

To enhance the participants’ knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to solve production problems 

Course Goal:

To enhance the delegate knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to achieve success by promoting their understanding of the nature of problems
