Problem solving tools appropriate to the nature of the problem are selected to indicate that consideration has been given to all the available problem solving tools. |
The tools are applied considering the criteria for the desired state. |
Factors influencing the situation are analysed so that the solution is seen in a broader perspective and would therefore require a comprehensive solution. |
Generate a number of possible solutions and motivate the preferred option. |
Alternatives are analysed using a decision table so that a comprehensive picture emerges of the range of possibilities. |
The advantages/disadvantages of the various possible solutions are analysed for rating against weighted criteria. |
A decision is made based on the results obtained from application of weighted criteria to the data. |
The preferred solution is motivated in terms of the analysis of the problem. |
