Summary:Any organization is confronted with a multitude of problems in a dynamic andcomplex environment. These problems can be independent, but, many times,they are interconnected. In this myriad of situations, it is difficult to identify thecausality relations between problems, which, logically, should also determinethe solving order. An organization is faced with a cash crisis, a substantialloss of clients, production equipment wear, poorly qualified personnel, andunsuitable products from a quality- related perspective. And in this context,what is the original problem, primary, and through its solving, the solution tothe other problems could be found? Is this the loss of clients, or cash crisis?Are we facing a cash crisis because the products are of poor quality anddon’t sell, or is it because we are facing a cash crisis we are unable to investin research- development, in order to increase product quality?We will try to find an answer to such dilemmas in this material. The problemis not a new one in the specialized literature. In the first part of the article wewill present a couple of previous solutions this problem has been given, andduring the second part we will propose a model derived from those known inthe specialized literature.
