5 why’s technique and cause and effect analysisBhagya Silva
The document describes the 5 Whys technique and cause and effect analysis for problem solving. [1] The 5 Whys technique was developed in the 1930s by Toyota to repeatedly ask "Why?" to identify the root cause of a problem. [2] Cause and effect analysis uses a diagram to brainstorm potential causes within categories like people, materials, equipment that may be contributing to a problem. [3] The technique provides a structured approach to analyze problems, uncover relationships between causes, and identify solutions.
Prt 1 of the Cause nd effect workshop. This claass will intorduce the use of C&E in business problem-solving and the use of tools like the Fishbone (or Ishakawa) diagram.
The document provides information about fishbone diagrams, including:
- A fishbone diagram is a visual tool used to identify and organize potential causes for a problem. It was created by Kaoru Ishikawa in 1943 and displays categories of causes branching off a central problem or effect arrow.
- The document outlines the history, benefits, and tips for creating fishbone diagrams. It also provides examples of fishbone diagrams analyzing causes in different contexts like delays in lab results and reasons for employee resignations. Software is available to easily make customized fishbone diagrams.
The document provides an overview of using a fishbone diagram to analyze problems. It discusses the agenda, which includes reviewing cause and effect analysis and constructing a fishbone diagram. The steps involve defining a problem statement, brainstorming potential causes, categorizing the causes, analyzing the root causes, and recommending next steps. The goal is to identify all possible reasons for a problem in order to discover the deepest underlying causes.

KPA is a nationwide compliance expert that provides services to over 3000 clients in areas like safety, environmental regulations, and human resources. The presentation covered why accident investigations and root cause analysis are important, how to conduct an investigation, potential causes of accidents, and methods for analyzing the root causes using tools like the 5 whys and fishbone diagrams. The goal of root cause analysis is to prevent future accidents by understanding the underlying reasons they occurred and guiding organizational changes.
This document provides an overview of the 5 Whys root cause analysis tool. The 5 Whys involves asking "why" five times to determine the root cause of a problem. It should address why something was made incorrectly and why it was not detected. While typically involving five questions, the number is flexible based on the complexity of the problem. When applying the 5 Whys, clearly define the problem, ask full questions, and follow the thought process without jumping to conclusions. The goal is to identify systemic causes that allow problems rather than just surface explanations.

The document provides guidance on conducting a 5-Why analysis to determine the root cause of problems. It explains that 5-Why fits within the problem resolution request (PRR) process and is used to facilitate problem resolution. The document then covers understanding 5-Why, provides an example, and discusses open-ended versus closed-ended questions. It also outlines the steps for a 5-Why analysis, provides a critique sheet for evaluating 5-Why analyses, and offers general guidelines.
Fishbone analysis, also known as cause-and-effect diagram or Ishikawa diagram, is a tool used to identify and organize potential causes for a particular problem or effect. It was created by Kaoru Ishikawa to show the causes of a specific event. To conduct a fishbone analysis, a team agrees on a problem, writes it in a box, and draws lines extending from it to categorize potential causes under generic headings like materials, methods, measurements, people, machines, and environment. An example fishbone diagram analyzes potential causes for dough wastage in a bakery under these categories.
This document provides an overview of root cause analysis (RCA) and common RCA tools. It discusses the CPAR/SCPAR process for documenting problems, determining root causes, and implementing corrective actions. Three commonly used RCA tools are described: 5 Why's analysis involves repeatedly asking why to drill down to the root cause; affinity diagrams group detailed causes into major categories; and fishbone diagrams illustrate the relationship between causes and effects. The document encourages using the appropriate tool based on the problem complexity and provides examples of applying each tool.

5 Whys: Originally developed by Sakichi Toyoda and used within the Toyota Motor Corporation during the evolution of its manufacturing methodologies, 5 Whys is a basic component of problem-solving. By asking ‘Why’ 5 times it encourages the problem solver to avoid assumptions and logic traps and trace the chain of causality from the effect seen through to a root cause. The real root cause should point toward a process that is not working well or does not exist.
The document discusses the 5 Why's technique for root cause analysis. It can be used for troubleshooting, quality improvement, and problem solving. The process involves repeatedly asking "Why?" five times to determine the root cause of a problem by drilling down through its symptoms. Tools like Ishikawa charts, design of experiments, and statistical analysis can also aid in root cause analysis.
The document discusses the Why-Why Analysis technique for identifying root causes of problems in a logical, methodical way based on facts. It describes two approaches - starting from what should have happened or from first principles. It provides eight considerations for implementing Why-Why Analysis, such as clearly identifying the phenomenon, using simple phrases, checking the logical structure, and continuing to ask "why" until preventative actions are identified. An example analyzes why a hydraulic cylinder was not working properly by repeatedly asking "why" to trace the root cause to a maintenance issue.
The document discusses fishbone analysis (also known as Ishikawa diagram), which is a tool for systematically analyzing the potential causes of quality, process, or project problems. It provides the following key points:
1. Dr. Kaoru Ishikawa invented the fishbone diagram to systematically analyze the effects and causes that contribute to those effects.
2. The fishbone diagram looks like the skeleton of a fish, with the "head" representing the problem/effect and the "bones" and sub-branches representing categories of causes and specific potential causes.
3. Basic steps for constructing a fishbone diagram include identifying the problem/effect, categorizing potential cause factors, brainstorming specific causes within
The document provides 10 guidelines for running effective A/B tests:
1. Have one key metric per experiment to clarify decision making.
2. Use your key metric to calculate statistical power and determine required sample size.
3. Run experiments for the planned duration without early stopping.
4. Don't search for differences across many segments to avoid false positives.
5. Ensure experiment groups are balanced to avoid bucketing issues.
6. Don't overcomplicate methods when basics suffice.
7. Be cautious launching changes that didn't hurt without evidence of benefit.
8. Involve data scientists in the entire process for better design and analysis.
9. Only analyze people actually exposed to variations
This document provides training on using root cause analysis to understand and solve problems. It explains that to solve problems, their root causes must be identified rather than just addressing symptoms. An example problem of a memory leak is used, where a better solution is finding and fixing the source rather than just buying more memory. Cause-effect diagrams are presented as a tool to trace problems to their root causes by asking "why" multiple times and looking for loops. Two example problems are analyzed using this approach to understand business impacts and identify unexpected underlying causes in order to propose effective countermeasures.
This document provides guidelines for A/B testing, including prioritizing test ideas based on estimated new conversions per day, creating tests by running a power analysis and having incremental tests, analyzing tests by monitoring health metrics, and making decisions carefully based on analysis results. It recommends calculating potential impact, having a data scientist involved, and not launching on neutral results to avoid technical debt.
The document provides an overview of the 5 Whys root cause analysis tool. The 5 Whys involves asking "Why?" five times to determine the root cause of a problem. It should address both why a defective part was made and why the defect was not detected earlier. While typically involving five questions, the number may vary depending on the complexity of the problem. The tool helps analyze problems by tracing them back from obvious to less obvious causes through a series of why questions. The goal is to identify systemic root causes that allow problems rather than just resolving the specific problem.
Get your Thesis Proofread by a Thesis Maker in Delhi Techsparks
The document discusses the benefits of getting a thesis proofread by an expert thesis maker. It states that students often overlook errors in their own work, but a proofreader can ensure a thesis is error-free by checking for mistakes in grammar, vocabulary, formatting and more. This includes small errors like punctuation. A proofreader also ensures consistency and logical flow of information. Additionally, having a professional review the thesis saves time and effort for the student compared to self-editing, and provides a fresh perspective to catch any issues missed by the author. In summary, using an expert proofreader can result in a higher quality, error-free thesis.
The document discusses root cause analysis techniques for problem solving. It addresses key questions about when action should be taken to address problems and the importance of treating each problem seriously to find the underlying cause. Various tools for root cause analysis are defined, including brainstorming, cause-and-effect diagrams, the 5 whys technique, checklists and flowcharts. Guidance is provided on effective use of cause-and-effect diagrams and 5 whys to delve beyond symptoms and uncover root causes.
This document provides an overview of root cause analysis (RCA) and corrective and preventive action (CAPA) processes. It defines failure, outlines objectives of investigations such as corrective actions and preventive actions. It discusses quality of investigations and common but incorrect initial responses. The document then covers starting an RCA with a positive mindset, avoiding bias, not blaming individuals, and effective teamwork. Steps in an investigation and CAPA process are defined including identification, risk assessment, immediate action, root cause analysis, action planning, implementation and follow-up. Tools for root cause analysis like brainstorming, field trips, 5 whys, and Ishikawa diagrams are described.
Cause and effect analysis was developed in the 1960s by Kaoru Ishikawa to help identify the root causes of problems. It uses a diagram called an Ishikawa or fishbone diagram to map the potential causes for an effect or problem. The technique helps conduct a thorough analysis by considering all possible causes across major contributing factors. The steps involve identifying the problem or effect, determining key factors, brainstorming potential causes within each factor, and analyzing the diagram to investigate the most likely causes.

Som C-level leder er der en stor chance for at man på et tidspunkt skal tager stilling til om et BPM, SOA og/eller EA program skal iværksættes. Spørgsmålet ”Hvad er egentlig risici med dette initiativ?” skal stilles og risiciene skal håndteres, dvs. at der skal iværksættes aktiviteter, som reducerer risikoens sandsynlighed eller som afbøder dens potentielle konsekvenser.
Uden at påvise det matematisk, kan man gå ud fra at risikoen ikke bliver mindre, når initiativet kombinerer flere komplekse discipliner som EA, SOA og BPM. Dette kræver at man ændrer noget afgørende ved årsagerne til de problemer, man potentielt kan opleve med de enkelte discipliner.
Når man starter et EA initiativ skal man være klar over at: Failure is an option!

This document summarizes the key goals and artifacts of the inception phase of a project. The inception phase determines the product scope, vision, and business case to decide whether to proceed with further investigation. Key artifacts created include a vision/business case document, preliminary use case model, risk plan, and iteration plan for the first development cycle. Estimates created during inception have a wide margin of error due to the limited information available. The main purpose of inception is to evaluate feasibility and decide whether to proceed with the project.

Presentation by Mike Rylander at Code4Lib 2007 in Athens, GA.
At PINES we have the luxury of a very supportive administrative team. Through trial and error over the last three years we have had the chance to glean a set of do's and don'ts for the building of a successful in-house development team and environment. We would like to share our experience in the hope that others may be able to duplicate our successes and avoid our missteps at all levels, from developers on up to management.
The document discusses 7 important management practices that are often ignored:
1. Conduct regular in-progress reviews of projects to ensure goals are understood, problems are addressed, and plans are adjusted if needed.
2. Include blank space in project timelines to allow for improvements or task overruns without delaying the whole project.
3. Follow up on all communications and actions to confirm understanding and collect feedback to improve performance.
4. Consider potential risks and unexpected events, not just historical data, by asking "what if" questions.
5. Understand the data used for decisions by requiring clear explanations of how it was collected and analyzed.
6. Don't assume responsibility for problems always lies with subordinates;

How To Write Your Research DissertationChris Jobling
This presentation describes the standard structure of your research dissertation and suggests a methodology for its successful production using modern word processing tools.
In this presentation, aimed at students in engineering, science and technology, I present some personal thoughts on what is expected in a technical report. Aimed particularly at students about to write their first lab report, it also contains useful information for students who need to write a dissertation or a software design document. It relects what I like to see in a report when I am marking it, but some of the principles are general I think. Within the constraints of the medium, I have also tried to present this it in much the same way that I would expect a report to be presented. Comments welcome.
In this presentation I discuss the so-called "Blackboard Quest" that is used to introduce Engineers at Swansea to Blackboard VLE and Oremi (ELGG) Shared Space

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
