Problem solving techniques

A problem solving technique shows a step by step sure way to solve a problem. It is a less abstract and more realistic way towards solving a problem.

A few examples of problem solving techniques are:

How to find a troubleshooter to solve a grave real life problem,
how to select right medicines in a hurry,
how to take a decision of buy or not to buy,
how to apply change analysis technique,
how to to use base equalization technique,
how to apply domain mapping,
how to apply pattern analysis technique,
how to apply delusion analysis technique,
how to apply simple and complex logic analysis,
how to apply technique of memory indexing and summarization,
how to apply rule-set and deductive reasoning for fault diagnostics,
how to use problem breakdown technique.

Not all the techniques are very novel and innovative. For example, problem breakdown technique is a natural way to solve large problems that many of you have applied.

Among these though a few deserves special mention.

We consider domain mapping technique as one of the most powerful broad-scoped problem solving techniques that can be applied to achieve highly unexpected positive results.

These are all general problem solving techniques to be used in daily lives. Apart from these solving math problems or brain teasers constantly require discovery and application of new problem solving techniques.

As you may guess, there may be a very large number of problem solving techniques that are just waiting to be discovered and used in a given problem situation.

This uncertainty gives rise to the main foundation of problem solving.

Discovery and use of a new problem solving technique PRIMARILY DEPENDS ON KEY PATTERN IDENTIFICATION AND CREATION OF A NEW METHOD.

How to convert a mishap to a blessing using principle of hidden opportunity

I always thought till sometime back - mishaps and really bad things would happen around me and NEVER to me. You also would have thought so. Till the first misfortune struck. And then other misfortunes followed. You feel cornered and deeply depressed. Know for sure that dark days will end and strangely, you would one day find unexpected opportunities spring up out of the misfortune that caused you so much trouble...

Improve your life by delusion analysis

A delusion is a belief which is not true in reality. Usually delusions are of negative kind. Sometimes though we may have delusions that are good to have. These are positive delusions. If we identify our positive and negative delusions and critically analyze...

A special process that you have used for fast and effective recall of a piece of knowledge forms a powerful technique for solving memorization and recall type of problem situations. Such a process uses indexed memory and needs extreme summarization as a capability...

Problem solving rule-set and deductive reasoning for fault diagnosis

Submitted by Atanu Chaudhuri on Fri, 24/01/2014 - 01:06

Use of a special problem solving rule-set and experience based deductive reasoning sometimes help in solving a tough and baffling real life problem of fault diagnosis type. In any fault diagnosis environment such rule-sets can be formed and used with great benefits...

Complex logic analysis using problem breakdown and other techniques

Submitted by Atanu Chaudhuri on Sun, 12/01/2014 - 02:53

Logic analysis primarily deals with yes/no variables or questions. The core concept of this approach of limiting the number of final possible outcomes to only two makes this world of yes/no a certain world. Though attractive, logic analysis by itself is of little use in real world problem solving, as most of the parameters and criteria in real world problem solving have inherent subjectivity in them. But we may use logic analysis together with other problem solving resources and deductive reasoning to solve complex problems systematically...

Simple Logic analysis

Submitted by Atanu Chaudhuri on Sat, 11/01/2014 - 02:43

We frequently use the term ‘logic’. People who use logic to back up their comments, decisions or actions are considered as logical. Sometimes this term is interchangeably used with the term ‘rational’. People who do not behave or act according to commonly accepted norms are termed as irrational. Human beings do not always follow stringent logic. Nevertheless ‘logic’ is a well-defined technical term; there is nothing vague in ‘logic’...

Pattern recognition and use in real life problem solving

Submitted by Atanu Chaudhuri on Fri, 10/01/2014 - 02:40

Patterns form the basis of comprehension and action for all living things in nature. Patterns are all around us - from human fingerprints, zebra crossings, warm current flows in oceans to the beautiful arrangement of a rose bud. A baby starts to recognize the objects around it, learns how to react on events or how to speak - all by identifying patterns. As we grow up, pattern recognition and its use remains to be one of the most valuable components in our problem solving ability set...
