Means-end analysis
Using a means-end approach basically means looking at a target, which is the starting point, and figuring out the best way to get from point A to point B by breaking down the list of issues to make them more feasible on a daily basis.
Pinpoint the desired result and describe it in a few lines.
Before taking any actions, add some pre-conditions with a short description that will support you attain the final outcome.
Because any situation has two sides, positive and negative, take into consideration the challenges that may occur while trying to shift from the current situation to the target one. Finally yet importantly, shortly explain your current status.

Add a condition before 'Target outcome'
What are the pre-requisites or conditions before you can reach 'Target outcome'?
Add a short description of a condition that must exist before you can reach 'Target outcome'. Remember to observe the constraints that you listed.
Example:
- Higher speed production equipment
- Trained operators

Condition or action
What needs to be done before you can reach 'Condition'?
If this position is reachable from the current situation, then you can type in the next action instead.
If 'Condition' is already an action that can be done, then just press Enter.

- Finding suitable training
- Identifying staff for training
