Abstract: Over the years, problem solving in manufacturing industries has become one of the key attributes and a differentiator in this competitive market. A notable fact, which has emerged from the literature of problem solving, is that most of the time it has been a reactive approach. If the approach has to be preventive then there must be automation or application approaches involving statistics. In developing countries where component manufacturers still struggle to implement an effective problem solving methodology, OEM's have relatively better awareness of problem solving but they are yet to have an effective problem-solving methodology, which can be cost effective, time saving and simultaneously have a preventive approach rather than a reactive approach. In this paper, authors have demonstrated PMDECS approach of red bin analysis, which reduces the issues and problems at source as a preventive approach. This is an alternative approach towards problem solving based on the Deming's PDCA cycle.
