Understanding the importance of their discussion the team focused on the important issues and quickly divided into groups relative to the activities planned Figure . Identify Breakthrough and Select Practical Approaches Finding the optimal solution was not as easy as some members had thought. The team agreed that the best solution would be to uncouple trailer utilization from any input so that it would be insensitive to any variation found in the inputs.
