SE-Training - Courses - Technical Problem Solving
Solving complex problems is one of the most urgently required skills in our current time. As technologies become more advanced, the possible solutions created by them become more and more complex to understand, design for and successfully implement. This can be seen across multiple industries and is causing significant front line issues to reliability, maintenance, project cost, product performance and overall schedules.
In this one-day course a systematic methodological process for applying to technical complex problem solving shall be taught. Each stage of the process shall be expanded to include real-world examples in addition to various approaches for tailoring and applying the process. The course includes a moderated group workshop where a modern day example shall be worked through.
In addition, an evening meal with the course presenter is included in the fees.
• Understanding and application of a Systematic methodological process for applying to technical complex problem solving
• Experience using numerous techniques for finding and developing high value solutions, eg Triz.
• Experience using numerous techniques for evaluating the value of technical solutions, eg Extended trade-off.
• Experience leading the technical workshop group for one session.
• Systems Engineers
• Technical Leaders
• Project Managers
• Requirements Engineers
• System Architects
• Development Engineers
• Verification and Validation Engineers
• Quality Engineers
