Our problem solving efforts must go after?
-
Root causes eliminating actions
-
Treating symptoms
-
Effect Blocking actions
-
Escalate to next level
Correct Answer
A. Root causes eliminating actionsExplanation
When solving a problem, it is important to focus on addressing the root causes rather than just treating the symptoms. By identifying and eliminating the root causes, we can prevent the problem from recurring in the future. This approach is more effective and efficient in solving problems compared to merely treating the symptoms, which only provides temporary relief. Additionally, taking actions to block the effects of the problem or escalating it to the next level may not address the underlying issues and may not lead to a long-term solution.Rate this question:
