DESCRIPTION:Engineers are paid to solve problems. Like most things in the e
 ngineering world\, a consistent and repeatable process helps improve effec
 tiveness and speed. The content of that process varies based on the comple
 xity of the issue being addressed. At one end of the spectrum are problems
  with known causes and known solutions. Simple execution of the solution i
 s what's needed. At the other end are situations where the objective may n
 ot even be known. Detailed in-depth methods like Design for Lean and Desig
 n for Six Sigma apply to these complex problems. This talk will describe a
  method that sits between the endpoints of the problem-solving continuum\,
  a logic-based approach useful for low to medium-complexity problems. Most
  issues that engineers face fall in this range.\n\nPlease register for the
