Checklist
When to use it?
When you are trying to analyze a problem, or when you are trying to find out if a problem has a solution. A checklist can be used also to check for the consistency of a process on the basis of a flowchart.
How to use it:
- Review the steps of the process that you want to observe.
- Select the critical steps of the process.
- Make a list of questions to check if the steps are performed. These
questions should be "closed," that is, able to be answered only by "yes" or "no".
- Perform the observations and collect the data.
