PROCESS DECISION PROGRAM CHART

INTRODUCTION

Originated as one of Japan’s Seven new control tools for management and planning.

The PDPC extends the tree diagram a couple of levels to identify risks and countermeasures for the bottom level tasks.

The PDPC is similar to the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) in that both identify risks, consequences of failure, and contingency actions.

PROCESS DECISION PROGRAM CHART

The process decision program chart systematically identifies what might go wrong in a plan under development.

By using PDPC, you can either revise the plan to avoid the problems or be ready with the best response when a problem occurs.

It may be vertical or horizontal.

PROCESS DECISION PROGRAM CHART

Process

From the bottom level of some activity box, the PDPC adds levels for: identifying what can go wrong (failure mode or risks) consequences of that failure (effect or consequence) possible countermeasures (risk mitigation action plan)

HOW TO CONSTRUCT PDPC

Develop a tree diagram of the proposed plan.

For each task on the third level, brainstorm what could go wrong.

Review all the potential problems and eliminate any that are improbable or whose consequences would be insignificant.

For each potential problem , brainstorm possible countermeasures.

PROCESS DECISION PROGRAM CHART

For producing the desired result from many possible outcomes

Used to plan various contingencies. Used for getting activities back on track. Steers events in required direction if unanticipated

problems occur. Find feasible counter measures to overcome problems.

ADVANTAGES OF PDPC

Facilitates forecasting. Uses past to anticipate contingencies. Illustrates how events will be directed to successful

conclusion. Enables those involved to understand decision-makers

intentions. Cooperation and communication in group. Easily modified and easily understood.

APPLICATIONS

This tool has the widest range of applications from the simplest to the most complex.

This tool can be used to prevent problems by identifying opportunities for error and devising measures to avoid failure.

It can be used during the implementation of solutions for predicting resistance for planning measures to overcome the resistance.
