ABSTRACT
To this point, we have discussed at length the rigorous problem-solving approaches and efficient communication promoted by widespread adoption of A3 reports, what we call A3 thinking. We then introduced the basic content and mechanics of A3 report writing, along with examples and points of guidance in writing three basic types of A3 reports, with variations. We now turn our attention to a number of broader issues that, in our study and personal experience in working with A3 documents in Japan and the United States, are important to the creation of an A3 report system.
