    Analytical thinking is the ability to solve complex problems by evaluating available data to identify patterns and find solutions. The process involves: 1) Identifying the problem by analyzing detailed information, breaking the problem into smaller parts, and gathering related data to identify the core issue. 2) Identifying the root cause using techniques like "5 Whys" to ask why something occurred until the underlying cause is found. 3) Finding a temporary solution by learning from past similar cases, using creativity if needed, and introducing "countermeasures" to permanently address the problem. The solution is evaluated and the process is recalled to ensure the right analysis was conducted.

    Analytical Thinking

    A Logical Problem-Solving Method


    Definition
    • Ability to solve a complicated
    issue by evaluating the available
    data and analyze the pattern to
    find a solution
    Analytical Thinking Process

    Identify the Problem

    Identify Root Cause

    (Temporary) Solution

    Recall
    Identify The Problem
    Analyze Examine information that has been received in a detailed manner
    Information

    Breaking Down Some complex problems might require some break down to small problems
    Problem

    Gathering (More) Gather more data related or similar to the problem and find the similarities
    Information

    Identify the Issue Develop a final problem that needs to be understood to find the root cause
    Breaking Down Problem (Decomposition)
    Example of Decomposition
    Identify Root Cause
    5 Whys Technique
    - After identifying the problem, we will identify the
    cause of the problem
    - To identify the root cause, we will use the
    technique by Sakichi Toyoda – Founder of Toyota –
    of 5 Whys
    - Ask the first “why” -> a phrase is preferable rather
    than single word or long sentence
    - Ask the second “why” towards the answer of the
    first “why”
    - Repeat the process until a root cause might be
    identified

    Further Reading:

    After identifying the root cause learn from previous
    similar case on how to solve one problem that is
    similar to your root cause
    (temporary)
    Some cases could be searched through the internet
    Solution search engine

    Some cases might need an extra creativity in solving


    due to its nature of uniqueness

    Language of countermeasure is also introduced to


    give the idea that problem will always exist, and
    solution is a permanent way to solve it
    If the solution or countermeasure fail, then
    we can trace back to whether we took the
    wrong solution or countermeasure

    Recall- Another way to look is it might be wrong on


    Does it the analysis of the root cause or even until
    identifying the problem
    Work? Even if the problem succeeds, the Recall
    process is important to understand the
    success way and could provide an insight for
    future problems
    Student • Form a group consist of 4-5 students
    • Find a problem that is around you

    Practice • Practice the ‘identify the problem’


    method and ‘Identify the Root Cause’
