Process Troubleshooting and Problem-Solving Training Workshop

Introduction:

Excellent Troubleshooting skills are considered a core competency for Best-in-Class industrial companies. If your company's goals include minimizing downtime, this program is necessary because it delivers rapid, safe troubleshooting.

To wrap up and advance their troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, participants will explore the essence of troubleshooting and problem-solving certification, which marks a professional's ability to approach and resolve issues within technical and process-driven environments systematically.

This comprehensive troubleshooting training seminar, enriched with practical problem-solving workshops, elevates the participant's knowledge and hands-on troubleshooting experience. Through this seminar, attendees will learn the difference between problem-solving and troubleshooting and be equipped with the skills and techniques necessary to navigate and resolve workplace challenges efficiently.

Understanding Troubleshooting and Problem-Solving:

Before diving into the details of the workshop, it's essential to differentiate between troubleshooting and problem-solving. Problem-solving is a broader term that involves identifying a problem and finding a logical solution. On the other hand, troubleshooting is a form of problem-solving specifically aimed at finding and fixing a problem's cause, especially within technical systems.

The ability to distinguish and apply problem-solving and troubleshooting techniques can greatly improve operational efficiency and reduce downtime, making this an indispensable training for technical roles and management.

Targeted Groups:

  • Employees are responsible for leading and directing people to achieve and improve productivity.
  • This process troubleshooting and problem-solving workshop is for those facing the challenge of solving complex problems.
  • Production, Maintenance Engineering, and Process Engineering Personnel.
  • Supervisors are involved in the operations/maintenance function.
  • Planners, Coordinators, Engineers, and Technologists seek to elevate their troubleshooting and problem-solving capabilities.

Workshop Objectives:

Participants of the process troubleshooting and problem-solving workshop will be empowered to:

  • Apply appropriate knowledge and cross-functional resources to address issues.
  • Consider alternatives and choose the best, workable solution (i.e., consider the pros and cons, trade-offs, timing, and available resources).
  • Make effective decisions by balancing analysis with decisiveness.
  • Understand problems by gathering relevant information.
  • Integrate information from a variety of sources to arrive at optimal solutions.
  • Apply accurate logic to facts; detect inaccuracies or flaws in reasoning.
  • Create alternative ideas & innovative thinking.
  • Focus on how to become a 'Top Gun' Troubleshooter.
  • Develop a structured approach to Troubleshooting and Problem-Solving that uses common terminology and shared understanding.
  • Point to Continuous Improvement in how you run their processes and make incremental efficiency gains.
  • Understand the difference between having a techniques manual on the bookshelf - and making it work.
  • Identify the "motivated" people who should be the champions of Troubleshooting and Problem Solving - and who should follow.
  • Understand work practices that "allow" success in troubleshooting and problem-solving.
