Analytic Troubleshooting (ATS)
Essentials
When it comes to solving problems, and preventing reoccurrence, there’s little time for trial and error. With Kepner-Tregoe’s Analytic Troubleshooting workshop, you will consistently increase the operational efficiency of your production environment by getting to the root cause of your problems and fixing them for good. KT’s Analytic Troubleshooting workshop integrates quality and productivity efforts. And because our troubleshooting approach is agnostic to any specific technology, machine or process your organization can use it as a foundational skill for statistical process control, lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, total productive maintenance, self-managed work teams, and other programs.

“Kepner-Tregoe Analytic Trouble Shooting techniques are helping us to move away from a problem-solving approach based purely on experience, with no analysis and at best patchy ‘hard information’. Â Our old approach often resulted in situations when either the problem remained or recurred later.”
