5 Whys: Root Cause Analysis

"There is nothing that can't be done. If you can't make something, it's because you haven't tried hard enough." - Sakichi Toyoda

***CONCEPT***

The 5 Whys technique was developed and fine-tuned within the Toyota Motor Corporation as a critical component of its problem-solving training.

Taiichi Ohno, the architect of the Toyota Production System in the 1950s, describes the method as "the basis of Toyota's scientific approach . . . by repeating “why” five times, the nature of the problem, as well as its solution, becomes clear."
