A3 Problem Solving

An A3 Report is a practice of getting the problem, the analysis, the corrective actions, and the action plan down on a single sheet of large (A3 size) paper, often with the use of graphics.

This process identifies the current situation, the nature of the issue, possible countermeasures, the best countermeasure, the means (who will do what when) to put it into practice, and the evidence that the issue has actually been addressed.
