This course introduces the Federation of Advanced Manufacturing Education (FAME) MCE-4 (Manufacturing Core Exercise) for Problem Solving. Students will learn how to use the eight-step problem-solving model in an experiential learning environment, in conjunction with the PDCA cycle (plan, do, check, and act). The eight steps students will learn to use are:
- Clarify the problem (plan)
 - Breakdown the problem (plan)
 - Set the target (plan)
 - Analyze the root cause (plan)
 - Develop countermeasures (plan)
 - Implement countermeasures (do)
 - Monitor results and process (check)
 - Standardize and share success (act)
