- Problem-Solving Model:

(i) Define the problem
- The problem that i face is traffic jam on every Thursday because i hate traffic jam but there

is actually happen and this make me very headache.


(ii) Analysis the problem
- Izit the problem easy to solve by myself? Traffic jam is usually happened or not? Izit a
problem???
- Analysis the problem by using "Kepner-Tregoe" and problem analysis question.

(iii) Identify list of possible solution


  1. Go back home after traffic jam time.

  2. Pay more TOL fees to escape traffic jam. Ex: KL-Putrajaya Highway

  3. Go my cousin's house first.

(iv) Decide on the appropriate alternative

- Alternative 1: Adv - Save time by avoid from traffic jam

Save money from using KL-Putrajaya Highway

Disadv - Can't meet my family as fast as possible

- Don't know what to do at school

- Boring

- Alternative 2: Adv - Can go back home more faster

- Avoid from traffic jam

- More enjoy time at home

- Go out drink tea with my friends

- More time to do my assignment

Disadv - waste money

- Alternative 3: Adv - Can use my cousin's computer to do assignment
- Avoid from traffic jam

- Save money

Disadv - Can see many " black face" that i hate when at my cousin's house

- Can't gather with my family as soon as possible

- Can hear many bad things that predict my mom

As a result, i solve this problem by using alternative 2 which is using KL-P Highway because time is precious and no other things can substitute it.
