Lesson 2: Design of Experiments: Defining the Problem Clearly.
Mukul Mehta, Cleveland, Ohio
Do you want to know the real secret to success in problem solving and in new product development?
The real secret to success in problem solving is to learn how to define the problem clearly.
Why is this so important?
Consider the alternatives. What could happen if the problem is not defined clearly?
Have you heard of that old saying? "If you don’t know where you are going, any road will take you there!"
If the problem is not defined clearly, we could waste a lot of time and effort, solving the wrong problem.
Add to that the lost opportunity costs.
And, add to that the cost of being late to market.
The total cost of solving a wrong problem is huge. So let us learn how to define the problem clearly, in the context of technical problem solving for new product development.
A well defined problem is half solved!
