TeaCup Problem Solver 1.6 (Windows)

Overview:

TeaCup can be used as part of a training course with set examples created by you, or it can be used by your students to solve specific problems under your guidance. Method 1 : Solving a problem a particular group of people have. It can be used with a small group of students and trainer for guidance round one computer. The elements are chosen with the guidance of a trainer then the relationships are created to see what the outcome is. Various methods of solving the problem can be tried out to see what the new chart reveals. e.g. removing one bottleneck in a particular process results in a new bottleneck. Method 2 : It can be used near the end of a training course in the form of a game to try out what they have learned. Using this method you would have projects with pre-set elements and each student fills in the relationships on their own, and then they discuss the resulting charts in a group afterwards. TeaCup is different to the other brainstorming computer program. It will draw its own conclusions from the data you give. It may be what you expected or it may have simplified the problem and come to a completely different result. By drawing its own chart it will help identify the bottleneck causing the problem, the steps needed to achieve an outcome, or whatever you want: it all depends which relationship name you choose and which elements you select to make some simple statements true. TeaCup is a totally logical cause & effect analyser; it will calculate the adjacency & reachability paths for a given problem, thereby highlighting which of the perceived relationships is indeed part of the cause & effect path. As you may imagine it relies on the accuracy / honesty of your data input when performing its logic crunching calculations, but if you get an unexpected result you can always look back and work out why it came to that conclusion.
