5 why analysis ppt background

Description:

The image is a PowerPoint slide titled "5 Why Analysis", a problem-solving framework used to explore the cause-and-effect relationships underlying a particular problem. The main goal of the 5 Why analysis is to determine the root cause of a defect or problem by repeating the question "Why?".

The slide is divided into three main columns:

The first column, "Answer What Caused The Specific Situation", lists five text boxes labeled from "1st WHY?" to "5th WHY?". Each box has a placeholder text indicating that the slide is editable. This column is for documenting the iterative questioning process, starting with the immediate cause and drilling down to the root cause by continually asking "Why?".

The middle column, "Answer Why The Problem Wasn't Detected", contains five identical text boxes also labeled "1st WHY?" to "5th WHY?", to identify why the problem was not caught in earlier checks or processes.

The third column, "Answer What System Failed", also with five text boxes, is for analyzing which part of the system failed and led to the problem or defect.

There's a note to the right of the slide that reads, "Below is a table showing a problem with its various root causes. You have listed down the defect and with the help of the below analysis table arrive at the root cause of the problem to rectify the same."
