The A3 Report

The A3 Report goes hand-in-hand with steps 0-6 of the A3 Process. The purpose of the A3 Report is to: 

• Document the learning, decisions, and planning involved with solving a problem, 
• Facilitate communication with people in other departments, and
• Provide structure to problem-solving so as to maximize learning.  

The report (template) is designed to be printed on 11x17 inch paper (or two pieces of 8.5x11 inch paper) as shown in the diagram below. For additional explanations of the individual parts of the report, click on the title box for that part. You can also download an A3 Report template in MS Word format; however, remember this is a flexible tool and can be adapted to specific situations--just don't short circuit the process!
