Using the problem-solving process to address the turnover problem at the Iowa Department of Corrections by developing different solutions, analyzing alternatives to select the best overall option, and creating implementation plans.

After reading the article "American Society for Quality. (2024). What is a decision matrix? ASQ. https://asq.org/quality-resources/decision-matrix", the chapters 8 and 9 of Okes, D. (2019).Root cause analysis: The core of problem solving and corrective action (2nd ed.). ASQ Quality Press, and watching the video "Airfocus. (2020, July 7). The weighted scoring decision matrix-Explanation and step-by-step guide [Video]. YouTube", use this information to create a decision matrix to select one alternative as the recommended, and to guide the analysis of alternatives and the implementation plan creation. Identify and select the best overall solution from a series of solutions and create an implementation plan.

1. Write the problem statement and its root causes. 2. Write 1-2 paragraphs connecting the problem and the root causes section to these alternatives. The problem and its root causes should logically flow and directly relate to the presented options.

3. What are the potential solutions to the problem of turnover at the Iowa Department of Corrections? Present at least 2-3 alternative solutions to the problem. 4. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each of the potential alternative solutions? This should include supporting in-text citations and various research related to the problem of turnover at the Iowa Department of Corrections. 5. Evaluate each alternative potential solution to determine the associated benefits, drawbacks, and risks. 6. Select the best overall solution by using an appropriate tool from the readings. The application of the appropriate tool in determining the best alternative must be presented in the response, and with a plan to implement it. Ensure that the high-level implementation plan has enough detail to understand the significant steps in the implementation. 7. Provide a detailed final recommendation (1-2 paragraphs) that describes the chosen alternative for the solution and why it was selected.Provide a high-level implementation plan stating the steps to implement the solution.
