What is Why‐Why Analysis ?
•It is a scientific enquiry tool
• Also referred to as Root Cause Analysis
• It is a method of “Questioning”
• It leads to the “Root Cause” of the
problem/phenomena.

Constraints
• Cost considerations
Why-Why Analysis
Constraints (continuation)
• Lack of documentation, data or information on how
the problem occurred

Root Causes
Sourcesof how the process works or
•Inadequate knowledge
should work
• Inadequate procedures
Why-Why Analysis
Root
•Poor Basic Condition
Causes: A situation derived out of
absence of certain basic requisites like missing Nuts,
Grub Screws, etc.
Why-Why Analysis
Immediate Fix (Final
Action)
• They are developed and implemented to “cure”,
or alleviate the problem momentarily, while the
root cause is investigated

Immediate Fix (Final Actions)…
(continuation)
• Benefits
• It is quick
• Does not take too much effort to develop
• Inexpensive
• Keeps management happy
• It saves the process from being shut down
Why-Why Analysis
Immediate Fix (Final Actions)….(continuation)
• Disadvantages:
• Not process oriented
• Because of time constraints, it lacks thorough
analysis
• Usually, it is one person opinion
• Misinterpreted cost effectiveness
• Often, lacks data and documentation

What is a Physical
Phenomena ?
A Physical Phenomena is defined as the final,
noticeable, visible effect of a non-conformance or
abnormal happening . It can be seen or felt by the 5
human senses like vision, sound, feel, taste or
smell.
e.g. 1.Pneumatic Cylinder not Operating.
2. Burning Smell from Motor.
3. Abnormal noise from Gear Box.

What is a Final
It is that action taken as an immediate fix due to

which the physical phenomena observed is
corrected or eliminated.
