What kind of problem should I pick to work on? This is totally up to you. You can pick any problem that you experience at work, home, or school. The problem should be one that you can directly impact and/or influence. Pick a problem that you feel is just big enough so you can apply the eight (8) A3 steps, some examples include:
- Improving the laundry process in your home
- Improving the grocery/shopping process for your family (or any other spending process)
- Improving the space utilization in a garage or shed
- Getting kids to daycare on time every time
- Improving the filing system at your job
- Improving a shared space (storeroom, waiting room, etc.) at work
- Improving communication with your coworkers or manager
- Improving your grades at school
- and more!

Actions(10 points)
- The content in each section/box is logical and the connection to each section is clear and logical. For example, your problem statement and target should be related (what are you measuring as it relates to your problem statement?) and your countermeasures should directly impact one or more of your root causes. Your instructors are looking for continuity throughout your problem-solving. Breaks in logic, weak or missing connections can expect to lose points. (40 points)
- The application of tools is technically correct and helps make the story clear to outsiders. Here, your instructors are looking at the tools you applied for the problem. Were the tools used correctly and for a purpose that meets the need of the A3 section/box? Tools that are incomplete or don’t apply are subject to losing points. (15 points)
- Evidence of two experiments. Use of a simple table to plan experiments (like on slide #12) and use of a simple table (like on slide #12) to demonstrate what you anticipated happening in each experiment and the actual outcome of each of those experiments. Additional photos are welcome in addition to the table. You are required to learn through experimentation. (10 points)
