    Identifying the problem or issue is sometimes obvious. However, knowing the “why” is the only way to discover an applicable solution. Cause and Effect(ive). Great video!

    I think you can use this in the reverse too right? Why would you exercise? Or why would you change? Or why would you become rich? Even if it's 3 why's or 10 why's like you mention it could be the opposite of a problem:)

    7:30 You forgot the one key problem. A solution for a problem might not be the right action for the company. Most 5Y end up on some recommendation to increase quality control, more documentation, check twice, etc. as if that didn't have any cost. Guess what. It might be better to have failures occasionally instead of slowing everything down. It is a narrow metholodogy. Whatever results is fed out, you must be put it into context before taking action.

    Can you have multiple root causes for the same problem? For eg, I am working on a problem statement ie. working professionals don't prepare their food. There are two root causes for that. They don't have enough time and the whole process of cooking is intimidating.

    if all "the why" should have a countermeasure, would it be a redundant act? since the first to 4th is not the rootcause of the problem?

    Is it necessary we use all of the 5 whys all the time? what if we can only come up with 3 or 2?

    • @epm8805
      @epm8805  2 года назад +2

      No, you don't have to use all five. Just keep asking why until you can dig no deeper and you'll have your root cause. That might take 3 or it might take 6 whys!

    • @epm8805
      @epm8805  2 года назад +1

      Use a fishbone when you have a problem and you want to brainstorm what might have caused it, by considering all options and not just jumping straight to a conclusion. You can use the 5 Whys as part of a fishbone analysis - the Fishbone video I made shows how to do this.

    Good explanation of the process. I realize this is just fictional, but find it Interesting how it's "blame the developer due to them assuming". Maybe it was that the development team didn't encounter this condition in the test environment since that cannot completely simulate real world conditions. Just for thoughts. :)

    • @olemew
      @olemew 3 года назад

      Yeah. Method fails if the answers are wrong. Also, a solution for a problem might not be the right action for the company Most of these 5Y end up on some recommendation to increase quality control, make more documentation, etc etc as if that didn't have any cost. Guess what. It might be better to have failures now and then instead of slowing everything down.

    "Having a word with the development team manager" is not a specific enough action to address Cause #5. I know this is about Root Cause Analysis, but it might be better if you gave good examples of implementation actions.
