  2. Trial and error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_and_error

    This approach can be seen as one of the two basic approaches to problem-solving, contrasted with an approach using insight and theory. However, there are intermediate methods that, for example, use theory to guide the method, an approach known as guided empiricism. [citation needed]

  3. Methodology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methodology

    The term "methodology" is sometimes used as a synonym for the term "method". A method is a way of reaching some predefined goal. [6] [7] [8] It is a planned and structured procedure for solving a theoretical or practical problem. In this regard, methods stand in contrast to free and unstructured approaches to problem-solving. [7]

  4. Eight disciplines problem solving - Wikipedia

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

    Eight Disciplines Methodology (8D) is a method or model developed at Ford Motor Company used to approach and to resolve problems, typically employed by quality engineers or other professionals. Focused on product and process improvement, its purpose is to identify, correct, and eliminate recurring problems. [ 1 ]

  5. A3 problem solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A3_Problem_Solving

    Example of a worksheet for structured problem solving and continuous improvement. A3 problem solving is a structured problem-solving and continuous-improvement approach, first employed at Toyota and typically used by lean manufacturing practitioners. [1] It provides a simple and strict procedure that guides problem solving by workers.

  6. 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),

    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. Systematic inventive thinking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systematic_inventive_thinking

    Systematic inventive thinking (SIT) is a thinking method developed in Israel in the mid-1990s. Derived from Genrich Altshuller's TRIZ engineering discipline, SIT is a practical approach to creativity, innovation and problem solving, which has become a well known methodology for innovation. At the heart of SIT's method is one core idea adopted ...

  9. Morphological analysis (problem-solving) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morphological_analysis...

    The conventional approach is to break a complex system into parts, isolate the parts (dropping the 'trivial' elements) whose contributions are critical to the output and solve the simplified system for desired scenarios. The disadvantage of this method is that many real-world phenomena do not have obviously trivial elements and cannot be ...
