Five Whys Root Cause Analysis Method
The Five Whys method is simple, intuitive, and widely used, making it a go-to technique for millions of people daily.
Conditional Logic
By using a simplified version of Conditional Logic, the method creates a reverse timeline or sequence of events leading up to the problem being analyzed. Causelink’s Five Whys+ (Plus) takes this method to the next level by offering a robust and user-friendly template that captures:
- Evidence
- Problem Information
- Causes
- Solutions
- Summary Reporting
Five Whys Plus Template
The “Plus” comes from Causelink’s ability to add branches at each level of the chart, overcoming the traditional limitations of linear Five Whys analyses. This capability allows users to explore more complex and nuanced causal relationships by seamlessly transitioning to a scalable Cause and Effect Logic Diagram. With Causelink Five Whys+, users gain the simplicity of the original method with the power and flexibility needed for deeper, more accurate analysis.
