New 7 QC Tools Training – Structured Problem Solving

The New 7 QC Tools (Seven Management Tools) were developed by the Union of Japanese Scientists and Engineers (JUSE) to support planning, decision-making, and structured problem solving. Unlike the Basic 7 QC Tools, which focus on numerical data, these tools help organize verbal information, identify relationships, plan projects, and develop effective strategies.

This one-day instructor-led training combines concepts, case studies, and practical workshops to help participants solve complex business challenges using the New 7 QC Tools.
