Find root cause by asking “Why”

Product Description

5 Whys is a simple yet powerful root cause analysis technique that helps teams go beyond symptoms and identify the real cause of problems. By repeatedly asking “Why,” teams can uncover systemic issues rather than superficial fixes.

Example: Machine breakdown → Why? Overheating → Why? Poor lubrication → Why? No standard schedule → Root cause identified and fixed.
