Design Thinking Methods for Innovation in Manufacturing Workflow

Define Problem Statement

Type: Fill Checklist

Defining the problem statement is the initial phase of the business workflow process. In this step, key stakeholders gather to identify and articulate the core issue hindering the organization's efficiency or growth. This involves collecting data through various means such as customer feedback, market analysis, and internal metrics. The purpose of defining the problem statement is not only to understand the root cause but also to create a shared understanding among all involved parties. It enables the team to focus on a specific goal, eliminate ambiguity, and foster collaboration. The outcome of this step is a clear, concise definition of the challenge at hand, which serves as the foundation for subsequent workflow phases. By doing so, organizations can streamline their efforts, allocate resources more effectively, and develop targeted solutions that address the core problem.
