…you're facing a tough and critical problem and you have already pulled the andon cord.

Finding a solution for a tough problem unleashes new energy and gets things flowing again.
The a3 solver typically:
- depicts an issue;
- analyzes the situation and its underlying causes;
- identifies the required outcome;
- proposes some corrective actions;
- prescribes an action plan (who will do what when); and
- creates a follow-up review process—all in one integrated A3-sized document.
Therefore:
Take a single A3 and describe the background, current situation and desired goals, as well as a number of experiments and ways to verify their outcomes.
