What are some of the tools and techniques that you use for root cause analysis in continuous improvement?
It's common (and absolutely fine) to also have multiple responses at each layer of "why?" questioning. It could be that your "5 Whys" activity might end up with something that resembles the roots of a tree branching out. But the important thing is the uncovering of the main reasons (multiple) of a problem occurring. But it's also very important to remember to be respectful and refrain from turning the conversations in a blameful direction. Doing so will hinder your ability to solve problems but instead will cause new problems that might be even harder to solve.
