摘要
System thinking (ST) and creative problem solving (CPS) processes are needed to solve problems. The purpose of this research is to emphasise the need for behavioural and transformational problem solving techniques, using a ST approach to improve performance. This research used a modified instrument encompassing single-loop learning (SLL) and double-loops learning (DLL), tied directly to the pedagogy of problem-based learning. The correlation and regression were used to analyze the ‘mindsets/opinions’ of the employees on the perceptions of future improvement. The statistical results were positively related and contributed to the performance. The finding of this research proposed the application of a system engineering methodology (SEM) and ST&CPS framework as a contribution in SLL and DLL to solve problems. The results were compared with the literature. © 2015, The Society for Reliability Engineering, Quality and Operations Management (SREQOM), India and The Division of Operation and Maintenance, Lulea University of Technology, Sweden.
