Stop Guessing.
Start Knowing.
Problem and defect costs are hiding everywhere:
-
Customer: claims, returns, premium freight
-
Internal: scrap, rework, downtime
-
Supplier: disruptions and non-conformances
RootSolve KPI connects daily problem solving directly to your targets—so improvement isn’t theoretical. It’s measurable.
How it Works
Solve Problems.
Structured, Team-Based Problem Solving
RootSolve KPI provides a structured workflow that enables teams to:
-
Identify problems and communicate consistently
-
Investigate and determine root causes
-
Define and track corrective and preventive actions
-
Prevent recurrence for individual and related issues
No extra reporting. No side spreadsheets. Just better problem solving—built into the work.
Hit Targets.
Turn Problem Solving Data into KPI Improvements
As teams use the system, they naturally enter in-depth data including:
-
Problem descriptions
-
Root causes
-
Categories (product line, supplier, customer, etc.)
-
Locations (plant, department, work cell, etc.)
RootSolve KPI:
-
Collects and analyzes this data
-
Reveals systemic patterns that are invisible at the individual problem level
-
Identifies true cost drivers to prioritize action focus
-
Tracks performance over time
Repeat.
Monitor the Data to Continuously Improve
Weekly guidance with built-in course correction so you can understand:
-
Are the key drivers actually improving?
-
What new top drivers have emerged as conditions change over time?
-
Is our action plan strong enough?
-
What’s the ROI of our improvement efforts?
We provide closed loop feedback to keep progress on track.
See What Others Miss.
RootSolve KPI cuts across departments, plants, and the enterprise to expose the real drivers that traditional reports can’t. Hidden problem examples include:
Plant vs. System Issues
The problem isn’t a specific plant—it’s a shared design flaw.
Customer-Driven Noise
It’s not manufacturing—it’s inconsistent customer standards.
Equipment & Maintenance Gaps
The issue isn’t the product—it’s machine calibration across plants.
Training Failures
The crisis isn’t a manufacturing defect—it’s not consistently followingwork instructions.
Product Launch Weaknesses
The root cause isn’t operations—it’s flawed development & supply planning.
Impact in Numbers
How We Implement
Step 1: Workshop/Brainstorm
We'll meet with your team to define your problem solving challenges, most important KPIs and system requirements.
Step 2: Build and Implement
Develop your RootSolve KPI system, deliver training, and complete your "Go Live" launch.
Step 3: Guide Users and Optimize the Tool
Hold ongoing guidance sessions with your team. Ensure common understanding of action status vs target, top drivers across categories, impacts of actions, and is the ROI worth it in real dollars. Proactively update your RootSolve KPI system as your company needs evolve.
