If any of these questions hit home when asked, this problem-solving tool can help.

The Tree Analysis problem solving tool allows the problem to be broken down into all the possible causes that could be affecting the problem. Each possible cause is addressed and an improvement action is decided upon. These improvement actions are recorded and their progress is monitored.

The tool offers the following problem records that can be viewed at any stage during the problem solving exercise:

• All problems investigated
• All problem causes identified
• All problems where no action was done in order to solve the problem

The monitoring of the improvement actions can be viewed as follows:

• The actions listed today
• The actions due tomorrow
• The actions overdue
• All the actions due today or overdue

The purpose of this tool is to create a problem-solving environment in order to perform root cause analyses. The benefits of using the tool to problem solve is that the problems and relating actions are all recorded, allowing the organization to track problems and monitor recurring problems. The tool is a stand-alone tool that can be used at any level in the organization.
