TEP138 HEURISTICS STRATEGY

Problem-solving tools that can be used for solving non-

routine and challenging problems. It is a practical approach for a

short-term goal, such as solving a problem.

• Heuristics strategy

• Problem - based strategy

• Project - based strategy

• Routine problems

This includes using a method based on practical experience. A rule of thumb can be applied to

find a short-term solution to a problem to quickly resolve an issue during a situation where one

might be pressed for time.

• A Rule of Thumb

• An Educated Guess

• Trial and Error

• An Intuitive Judgment

This can help resolve a problem by using knowledge and

experience.

A heuristic method for problem-solving might entail analyzing data to understand and resolve a

problem or to look for patterns, just like a root cause analysis.
