  2. Effective method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_method

    In logic, mathematics and computer science, especially metalogic and computability theory, an effective method [1] or effective procedure is a procedure for solving a problem by any intuitively 'effective' means from a specific class. [2] An effective method is sometimes also called a mechanical method or procedure. [3]

  3. Computational thinking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_thinking

    Reformulating the problem into a series of ordered steps (algorithmic thinking) Identifying, analyzing, and implementing possible solutions with the goal of achieving the most efficient and effective combination of steps and resources; Generalizing this problem-solving process to a wide variety of problems

  4. Eight disciplines problem solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_Disciplines_Problem...

    The 8D methodology was first described in a Ford manual in 1987. The manual describes the eight-step methodology to address chronic product and process problems. The 8Ds included several concepts of effective problem solving, including taking corrective actions and containing nonconforming items.

  5. Problem structuring methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_structuring_methods

    An early literature review of problem structuring proposed grouping the texts reviewed into "four streams of thought" that describe some major differences between methods: [21] the checklist stream, which is step-by-step technical problem solving (not problem structuring as it came to be defined in PSMs, so this stream does not apply to PSMs),

  6. Divide-and-conquer algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide-and-conquer_algorithm

    An important application of divide and conquer is in optimization, [example needed] where if the search space is reduced ("pruned") by a constant factor at each step, the overall algorithm has the same asymptotic complexity as the pruning step, with the constant depending on the pruning factor (by summing the geometric series); this is known as ...

  7. Problem solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_solving

    The former is an example of simple problem solving (SPS) addressing one issue, whereas the latter is complex problem solving (CPS) with multiple interrelated obstacles. [1] Another classification of problem-solving tasks is into well-defined problems with specific obstacles and goals, and ill-defined problems in which the current situation is ...

  8. Nominal group technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominal_group_technique

    The nominal group technique (NGT) is a group process involving problem identification, solution generation, and decision-making. [1] It can be used in groups of many sizes, who want to make their decision quickly, as by a vote, but want everyone's opinions taken into account (as opposed to traditional voting, where only the largest group is considered). [2]

  9. Eightfold path (policy analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eightfold_Path_(policy...

    It is outlined in his book A Practical Guide for Policy Analysis: The Eightfold Path to More Effective Problem Solving, which is now in its seventh edition. [2] The book is commonly referenced in public policy and public administration scholarship. [3] Bardach's procedure is as follows: Define the problem; Assemble the evidence; Construct the ...
