About this Presentation
This presentation describes the use of the letter U to link the parts of a TOC analysis and solution together. The left side of the U-shape represents the problem with the top being the poor performance measures results, the middle representing the undesirable effects analysis and the bottom left being the core problem (using the evaporating cloud). The middle of the bottom of the U-shape represents the pivot point from the current reality on the left side to the desired or future reality on the right side of the U-shape. This left side is devoted to an understanding the problem (what to change) while the right side of the U-shape is devoted to the solution (what to change to). Opposite the core problem on the left side of the U-shape is TOC direction of the solution; opposite the UDE analysis of the current situation (current reality tree) is the elements of the solution (future reality tree); and opposite the poor performance results on the left side is the high or desired performance results on the right top of the U-shape.
