Problem-Solving Techniques: The Five-Whys (or, How to be a Wise Guy)

You've got good people in your organization, yet you still run into problems that impact production and profitability. When solutions are obvious, your people on the floor can solve problems without any extra help. But what happens when a problem arises that can't be fixed right away?

The Five-Why technique presented here is a method used to determine the root cause of a particular defect or problem. It involves tracing the chain of causality in direct and discrete increments, by questioning why the particular problem or observation occurred. The technique then leads to discovering the initial discrepancy or issue that started the process leading up to the failure.

I can relate to that Five why analysis because we are using that in our company if you commit negligence in your duty.The five why analysis will determine the exact answer,why problem committed.

Do you think five why analysis will work?I guess it is need to be oriented effectively so that people will be inform about this new process.Concern must be raise to identify problems.

I think the Five Why approach to problem solving is one of the best because it is one of the easiest.
As anyone with a 3-year old kid knows, we are programmed to ask "Why? Why? Why?" from an early age - as well as not taking "Because" as an answer.
The challenge is when you have people who are concerned with looking bad or being at fault, so they may not dig as much or as far. But if it is approached correctly, it's a good technique.
Thanks for your comments!
