Ask 5 WHY. Fix the root, not the symptom. A simple tool anyone can use to solve problems for good—and tomake our Q4 cost efficient, more collective, more organised and fully owned.
WHAT IS 5 WHY? When a problem happens, we ask “Why?” — then ask “Why?” again to each answer, about five times, until we reach the root cause. Fixing the symptom brings the problem back tomorrow. Fixing the root cause removes it for good. Golden check: read the chain backwards with “…therefore…”. If it makes sense, your logic is solid.
What we see Stoppages, delays, rework, errors
What we must find
THE ROOT CAUSE Process · Standard · Organisation
EXAMPLE: AN EVERYDAY PROBLEM Fact: A customer order was shipped 2 days late.
PROBLEM
Production started late on the line.
WHY 1
Some components were missing when production started.
WHY 2 WHY 3 WHY 4
The purchase order for the components was placed late. Purchasing learned about the need too late — the plan was shared by email.
WHY 5 ROOT C AUS E & ACTION
No shared routine exists between production, planning and purchasing. 15-min weekly planning meeting (production, planning, purchasing, logistics) with one owner. R esult: on- time delivery, no overtime, no express freight.
HOW 5 WHY ANSWERS OUR Q4 QUES TIONS MORE ORGANISED
MORE OWNERSHIP
What are your top three priorities for Q4? Run a 5 Why on your 3 biggest recurring problems. Your priorities become the root causes to remove — not the fires to fight every day.
MORE COLLECTIVE
How will you contribute to the plant’s overall objectives? Every 5 Why ends with an action, an owner and a date. Your contribution is visible: “I removed this cause.”
COST EFFICIENT
How will our collective efforts accelerate key operational changes? Do the 5 Why together, on the spot, with operators, maintenance, quality, planning and support. Many eyes find the real cause faster — and everyone agrees on the fix.
Can we make our workflows leaner and more costeffective? Ask “Why do we do this step?” five times. Steps with no good answer are waste: remove them. Each solved root cause = less scrap, downtime and overtime.
OUR 4 Q4 COMMITMENTS COST EFFICIENT
Solve once, save everyday. No money spent on repeat problems .
COLLECTIVE
ORGANISED
OWNERSHIP
One team,one problem, one solution. Shared facts, no blame.
A clear method, clear priorities, clear standards.
Each action has a name and a date. We follow up until it’s done.
