AIAG CQI-20:2018 – Effective Problem Solving Guideline
AIAG CQI-20:2018 – Effective Problem Solving Guideline is a standard shaped from an AIAG conducted survey that identified problem solving as the top concern facing the automotive industry. The newly revised AIAG CQI-20:2018 addresses this issue while keeping users up to date with a constantly changing industry.
With the release of AIAG CQI-20:2018 , the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) hopes to take a proactive response in regard to problem solving in the automotive industry. AIAG CQI-20:2018 explores problem-solving recommendations in companies on many levels. AIAG CQI-20:2018 integrates AIAG CQI-21: Effective Problem Solving Leader Guide into its text.
A company’s leadership can go a long way to effectively creating a culture that is equipped to dealing with issues that may befall them. The standard specifically addresses some examples of good leadership qualities that can be helpful in problem solving. Furthermore, the standard gives some steps needed to pursue good problem solving skills. They are:
- Become Aware of the Problem
- Establish the Team
- Describe the Problem
- Contain Symptoms
- Establish Root Causes
- Select and Test Corrective Actions
- Implement Corrective Actions
- Prevent Reoccurrence
- Recognize team Success
Each of these steps becomes crucial to effective problem solving. Thus, AIAG CQI-20:2018 goes in depth on each topic to better explain how they are helpful in the process.
AIAG CQI-20:2018 asserts that problem solving has an expansive area of use. The standard focuses on what might lead to concerns. Using AIAG CQI-20:2018 helps to assure that users are going through a systematic procedure to help catch issues that would normally result in problems that may have otherwise been avoided. Each section provides steps that help in different phases of that challenge.
AIAG is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 1982. It consists of a varied membership of automakers, retailers, manufactures, suppliers, government, academia, and service providers that work together to better form industry processes. AIAG develops standards and offers training and education conferences.
AIAG CQI-20:2018 – Effective Problem Solving Guideline is available on the ANSI Webstore.

CQI-10 AIAG Effective Problem Solving Guideline
Letter of EndorsementQuality of product is of paramount importance to customer satisfaction and market competitiveness. Effective Problem Solving directly impacts product quality and company profitability. Currently, companies use their respective problem solving processes and methods to comply with customer and certification requirements. Generally, problem solving results address the immediate issue and serve to satisfy the customer for the short term. While some organizations have developed problem solving processes that are robust and effective, all companies should pursue the opportunity to evaluate their processes and identify opportunities for improvement. The Effective Problem Solving Guideline represents a consensus of the problem solving methodology and concepts used today by automotive OEMs and the supply chain. This consensus of problem solving methodology should improve the consistency of problem solving results in all segments and at all levels of the industry.Enhancing the fundamental structure of this consolidated problem solving process is the integration of cultural behaviors that challenge company management to consider problem solving as a strategic planning tool to achieve business success. The impact of effective problem solving extends beyond the immediate issue. Taking the experience and lessons from an issue and implementing them throughout an organization for similar products and processes will reduce the risk of recurrence and proactively improve first-time quality. In addition, eliminating recurrent problems directly impacts profitability by improving cost-of-quality measures. As competitive pressures force efficiency improvements, the effective execution of problem solving reduces the waste of repetitive problemsolving action.Many company problem solving processes have structured methods, nomenclature, and verbiage that are unique and institutionalized. We suggest that the concepts and principles of the Effective Problem Solving Guideline be used as a benchmark for comparison to identify opportunities for improvement. Through this endorsement, the following OEM and Tier 1 manufacturers expect that suppliers or producers of automobile systems, components, or material consider how the intent and principles of the Effective Problem Solving Guideline can be applied within their existing problem solving processes.

FOREWORDMembers of the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) Problem Solving Work Group developed this Effective Problem Solving (EPS) Practitioner Guide for AIAG member companies and their supplier community to use for improving overall customer satisfaction and industry-wide competitiveness by improving quality and reducing costs.
We are all problem solvers at some level. EPS is applicable across the enterprise within a company, at all levels from the boardroom to the factory floor. EPS can be used to solve all types of problems, including those affecting production parts, transactional business processes, and the design of new or revised parts and processes.
A meeting with Key Supplier Executives in August 2002 was held to determine the opportunity to define a common set of information associated with Problem Solving. It was agreed that this was a worthwhile effort, so over the next six months a series of team meetings were held to create the common data elements. The team consisted of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and Supplier Problem Solving Experts and Executives. The results of their work were presented to the AIAG Quality Steering Committee in February 2003.
While the common data elements were agreed upon, it was clear that more than data is needed to solve problems. The problem statement agreed upon was this:
A large amount of waste is generated in the automotive industry due to ineffective problem solving. Contributors to the waste include:
Lack of CommunicationsInsufficient SkillsEntrenched Culture (industry and company)
Member companies of the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) recognized a need to improve their product quality, reduce costs, and eliminate waste by strengthening their problem solving culture, process,skills, and supportive tools. An AIAG Problem Solving Work Group was formed to develop this Effective Problem Solving (EPS) Practitioner Guide in order to address this need.
The primary objectives of this edition of the document are to assist AIAG member companies to:
Provide a recommended effective problem solving process that can be used as a model problem solving process for companies that have not yet adopted a process of their own. Provide a benchmark to compare existing problem solving processesand identify current gaps or deficiencies that should be addressed.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSThis edition of the document was developed by the Problem Solving Work Group to address the automotive industry’s need for improved problem solving capabilities.

INTRODUCTIONWhen solving problems, dig at the roots instead of just hacking at the leaves.
-Anthony D'Angelo
Effective Problem Solving (EPS) process can be defined as a process,when applied effectively will identify the Root Causes of problems or incidents. The general practice of EPS is based on the premise that problems are more effectively solved by identifying, correcting and ultimately eliminating the underlying Root Cause, rather than addressing the obvious symptoms. True application of the EPS process assumes that once the root cause has been identified the organization must have a Corrective Action Process that provides controls that keeps the problem from reoccurring or minimizing the possibility of it reoccurring, A key concept, when applying the EPS process is the understanding that it is unlikely that there will be complete prevention of the root cause by a single intervention. EPS is an ongoing process that needs to be effectively integrated with an organizations corrective action and continuing improvement process.
The EPS process by nature is a reactive process. When the organization first approaches the implementation of EPS, it is based on the response/reaction to some current identifiable failing within a process or a specific activity. This means that the problem has already occurred and the processes initiation is a response to that occurrence. As the organization improves the EPS process they will move from reactive to predictive. The ultimate goal of an effective EPS process is to apply the learning to predict failures so that preventive measures can be implemented BEFORE they can occur. This will lead to a culture for effective problem solving over time.
The EPS process is specifically designed to facilitate, in the organization, a means for the establishment of a systematic investigation of undesired outcomes (Failure Modes), problems or accidents (Hypothetical or actual, mistakes and errors).
The EPS process must emphasize the need for planning and follow-through. CAPA (Corrective Action/Preventive Action) is an integral part of the EPS process in its ability to provide a powerful means of understanding, any situation and generating a process for the solving the problems as well as generating possible solutions.
The use of the EPS along with CAPA can and should be used as an integral means for the updating of the FMEA, as well as linking to the standards (ISO 9000:2008, AS9100C & ISO/TS16949:2009) as it relates to the use of Mistake Proofing and Problem Solving.

Applicability
Figure 1. Primary Focus for a Formal Problem Solving Process
Problems vary in terms of complexity. Kaoru Ishikawa reportedly stated that a large majority of quality related problems…can be solved with seven fundamental quantitative tools. These are Fishbone Diagrams,Histograms, Pareto Analysis, Flowcharts (Value Stream Maps), Scatter Plots, Run Charts and/or Control Charts.
However, some problems can be more complex with a number of potential causes to be discovered and addressed. These require a cross-functional team using a formal problem-solving process to address. This document is focused on the more complex problems where a team is needed. Even for problems that an individual can solve, they should use a structured problem solving process.
The detailed process for resolving any one complex product design problem, e.g. tolerance “stack up” is outside the scope of this manual.

1 PROBLEM SOLVING ROLES
1.1 Executive ChampionSenior management cannot legitimately delegate responsibility for quality. This guideline provides quality practitioners in organizations with an effective process for problem solving and root cause analysis. The Executive Champion (or similar title, e.g. Sponsor) is the “voice of top leadership” in the process. This is critical to successful problemsolving by demonstrating management support to the team and to the organization at large. In this role, the Executive Champion is responsible for
Allocation of resources, e.g. both in quantity and appropriate function Monitoring team progress Removal of road blocks, Ensuring corrective actions are timely and effective.
Reference the AIAG Role of the Leader Guideline, target publicationSept. 2012 for more specific direction applicable to leaders.
1.2 Team LeaderThe team leader should be the natural owner of the process involved. This role may change as the team works on the problem identification. The Quality function should be a facilitator and resource to the team, but not function as the natural owner. For example, Product Engineering should own product design problems. Manufacturing or Industrial Engineer functions should own process problems. The natural owner is responsible for the approval and execution of the corrective action. The natural owner can also be a facilitator for the team. Reference the AIAG Role of the Leader Guideline, target publication Sept. 2012 for more specific direction applicable to leaders.
1.3 TeamThe team is directly involved and responsible for the recurrence prevention in effectively solving the specific problem. The team includes any subject matter experts as needed and goes into the investigation “unbiased.” Do not assume the root cause or responsibility prior to gathering evidence to make a data-based decision. However, the team will need hypotheses in order to gather the needed data to prove or disprove the hypotheses.
Note that the term “team” means participants from all affected functions, e.g. manufacturing, engineering, purchasing, supplier quality and/or management. To be effective, the team should be the appropriate size for the problem identified. This could include customers and/or suppliers as
applicable.
The team should ensure roles and responsibilities are assigned to address all the necessary steps in the problem solving process. Responsibilities for containment should be designated separate from responsibilities for root cause analysis so proper focus is placed on recurrence prevention.
1.4 FacilitationThe facilitator role may be optional but should be used for most complex problems (see Figure 1). The facilitator should
ensure that the team is represented by all the appropriate functions. be independent, i.e., no equity in the problem so they can facilitate the meetings effectively. be a problem-solving process subject matter expert, but not necessarily be a content expert regarding the actual problem being worked on.
The facilitator is responsible for convening the meetings, leading effective meetings in support of the natural owner of the problem,ensuring that minutes are published on time and following action items. In the absence of a facilitator, the team will have to assign someone to perform these functions.
1.5 Record KeepingAn individual needs to be designated the responsibility for maintaining the meeting records and minutes. They are responsible to ensure that the minutes are distributed to the appropriate people and to make corrections if necessary. It is recommended that, if the process is to be extensive and time consuming that this position be rotated. It is also recommended that this position NOT necessarily be assigned to an administrative assistant.

2 EFFECTIVE PROBLEM SOLVING PROCESS The recommended process is designed to assist you in clearly defining the problem, determining the actual root cause(s) of the problem,developing corrective action(s) to address all root causes, and institutionalizing these actions within an organization.
This section will detail the process flow within each of the overall steps represented in Figure 3. Each process flow will be accompanied by key questions that should be asked and answered as part of completing that step in the recommended problem solving process. The questions are provided to guide problem solvers and leaders through each step to achieve the best outcome.
Although there is no required problem solving reporting format, most organizations do require the following minimum information:

Figure 4. Problem Identification
2.1.1 IntroductionFor complex problems (See Figure 1), the organization should initiate their formal corrective action process. The scope of this process starts with the voice of the customer or of the process which signal that there is a non-conformance. As stated earlier, the focus for guidance in this manual is for complex problems where a formal process with a cross-functional team is needed. Operators from the floor can often be used to represent the voice of the process. The customer may need to be notified early and even participate on the team in some cases.
2.1.2 Initiate TeamOne of the first steps for the formal problem solving process is to form a cross functional team. The team should have an Executive Champion or sponsor as well as be led by the natural owning function, e.g. engineering, manufacturing. The Quality function should be a key support function for the team. Other internal functions, e.g. logistics should be involved as applicable.
There are key issues when selecting and implementing the EPS Team that must be reviewed and applied.
The team should:
Consist of subject matter experts; (This can include the use of outside content experts, such as consultants.)Consist of a group of people with process and product knowledge and the authority to correct the problem and participate in the meetings;The selected team members must be empowered by Senior Management to “change the rules” and “think outside the box”;Have an appointed Team Champion.
Team membership could change over time, but some should remain with the team throughout the process. There must be:

Quality of product is of paramount importance to customer satisfaction and market competitiveness, and effective problem solving directly impacts product quality and company profitability.
Companies use their problem-solving processes and methods to address immediate internal and customer-related quality deficiencies. While some organizations have developed problem-solving processes that are robust and effective, others continue to struggle with repeat issues and increasing customer dissatisfaction.
The AIAG CQI-20 Effective Problem Solving Practitioner Guide provides a recommended problem solving process that can be used a benchmark to compare existing problem solving processes and identify current gaps that should be addressed.
