Imagine Jo: Everyone in Jo's life recognizes her as an outstanding problem solver. She's the type of person who seems capable ...

A problem doesn't last a lifetime. But how you deal with it can make it linger for years without resolution. In my studies about the topic, I've identified that, in addition to everything that ...

An approach for developing heuristic problem-solving procedures for solving the types of operational problems with significant combinatorial components that commonly occur in production and ...

Wendy Monroy is a Mathematics Coach for the Los Angeles Unified School District in Los Angeles, California and is a member of the Instructional Leadership Corps, a collaboration among the California ...

A problem statement is a powerful tool that helps businesses ask the right questions. Used properly, it can lead to efficient solutions and make problem-solving feel like a breeze. Done poorly, it can ...

SAS/QC software provides two procedures for basic quality problem solving. The PARETO procedure creates charts that display the relative frequency of problems in a process or operation. The ISHIKAWA ...

After more than 24 years of coaching, I've noticed that teams and organizations still use traditional problem-solving techniques despite these being either obsolete or ineffective. For example, ...

Problem solving in business, in general, and marketing, in particular, is a complex process that generally requires the input of many with all seeing different sides of the same problem. Within the ...

This paper discusses the selection and design of heuristic procedures for solving one-dimensional roll trim problems. These are well-defined combinatorial problems which are too large to optimize.
