Strategic Selection of Problem-Solving Methodologies (PSMs) To Gain Lean Production System

In a complicated industry like what we have in Car manufacturing industry, huge numbers of problems are raised and must be solved to reach lean objectives (at least Quality, Cost, Delivery time objectives). Year by year bunch of new problem solving mythologies are raised and applied for industrial problems. In selecting a problem solving methodology for specified problem, one must be very careful. Because a complicated problem solving methodology for a simple problem (using a sledgehammer to crack a nut) is costly and time consuming (Muda of inappropriate processing) and may be because of its complexity time taking, the simple problem remains unsolved. In this paper, it is tried to propose some strategic ways for choosing problem solving methods and by this way eliminate Muda of bad selection of problem solving methodology and make applied problem solving methods more efficient and effective.
