Trang 1WHY - WHY ANALYSIS
TRAINING
☯ OBJECTIVES:
☯ To understand the definition of Why - Why Analysis.
☯ To clarify the procedure for developing a Why - Why Analysis.
☯ To stress the importance of each step in the Why
-Why Analysis.
☯ COURSE SCOPE / JUSTIFICATION:
☯ Why-Why Analysis is a basic, fundamental tool in the development of the IWS cornerstones, so it is essential that each Leader in the implementation of IWS know this technique and transmit it to his/her work teams.
Trang 2WHY - WHY ANALYSIS
☯ What is Why-Why Analysis?
☯ It is a tool to identify root causes of a problem
so that countermeasures can be applied to prevent reoccurence.
☯ Why-Why Process:
☯ Basically the process is to keep asking why for all possible causes until you can find the root cause for each effect and, therefore, find
a countermeasure for each root cause.

Trang 6What is the Product of a Why-Why Analysis ?
It is a structured, field checked, relationship with each
cause-effect relationship linked from the lowest
element back
to the
phenomenon.

1 Understanding the Problem
2 Defining the Phenomenon to be analyzed.
3 Establishing Cause-Effect Relationship
through Why questioning and Field Checks.
4 Logical Review of the Analysis
5 Checking for Standards and SOP’s
Trang 8Let’s See What’s going on?
1 The light bulb
“doesn’t go on” 2 “He slipped”
3 The match
“doesn’t light”
4 The pen
“doesn’t write”
Time: 10’
1 Understanding the Problem
Trang 9Understanding the problem
• Form a team of qualified,
Trang 10How you focus on the Problem Greatly impacts the
success of the Analysis.
1 Understanding the Problem
Trang 11a) According to the Process or Work Flow requirements.
b) According to the physical causes.
Two Clarifying approaches
1 Understanding the Problem
Trang 12Identify those conditions required by the Process to correctly operate and check all of
them before start doing the analysis.
(Checklist)
Advantages:
+Simpler +More practical +Faster
According to Process or Work Flow requirements
1 Understanding the Problem
Trang 13Identify the mechanics that generates the phenomenon and start the analysis based on it
Advantages:
+More complete +More precise +More effective
This material considers this approach as the standard way to perform why-why analysis.
According to physical causes.
1 Understanding the Problem
Trang 14☯ Define the the Phenomenon
☯ We intend to define the mechanics that generate the phenomenon, in other words, the way or process through which what we are
describing occurs.
☯ Break the problem down into specific, observable phenomena.
☯ Align the team on what success looks like.
2 Defining the Phenomenon to be analyzed.
Trang 15General Problem vs
Phenomenon
☯ An intricate, unsettled question or issue
☯ A source of perplexity or distress
☯ Made up of many observable
phenomenon
☯ Specific, observable facts or events
Trang 16Problem vs Phenomenon Example
Problem: The room is too dark
Better: The light bulb “doesn’t go on”
Best: There is no flow of electric current through
the filament
Trang 17Problem vs Phenomenon Examples
Process reliability is below 90%
The heat exchanger plates are cracked
The reactor pump seals leak
Product quality deviations are excessive
Bottle product labels are scratched
Bottle are being underfilled by 2 ounces per bottle
The family car is worn out
The engine is using one quart of oil every 500 miles
The car seats are ripped
Trang 18Scotoma Training
☯ Definition
☯ Scotoma literally means “limited vision within our field of vision.” It is used to explain the fact that we sometimes see what we expect to see.
☯ How it links to this training
☯ Scotomas can keep us from recognizing the
causes to some problems We might not even
recognize the problem (Like the way we overlook defects if we have gotten to the point where we
consider them as normal.)
Trang 21What’s the problem?
Trang 25What’s the problem?
What does Success Look Like?
Trang 26What’s going on?
☯ Define each of the following phenomena:
1 The light bulb
“doesn’t go on” 2 “He slipped”
3 The match
“doesn’t light”
4 The pen
“doesn’t write”
Workgroup activity (4)
Time: 10’
2 Defining the Phenomenon to be analyzed.
Trang 27What’s going on?
1 The light bulb “doesn’t go on”
The phenomenon that produces light
is the heating of the filament when
electrons or electric current flows
through it.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHENOMENON:
There is insufficient or no flow of electric current through the filament.
2 Defining the Phenomenon to be analyzed.
Trang 28What’s going on?
2 “He slipped”
Slipping occurs when the force of friction is less than the force that caused him to slide.
F = Impulse that caused him to slide.
f = Force of friction DESCRIPTION OF THE PHENOMENON:
F > f
2 Defining the Phenomenon to be analyzed.
Trang 29What’s going on?
3 The match “won’t light”
In order for a match to light, 3
conditions need to be met:
a) Fuel.- Met with the striking
material and the match head (OK.)
b) Oxygen.- Provided by the
environment (OK.)
c) Heat.- Caused by the friction of
the match head against the rough
strip on the matchbox.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHENOMENON:
There is not enough friction between the match head and the rough strip on the matchbox to produce the heat needed for ignition.
2 Defining the Phenomenon to be analyzed.
Trang 30What’s going on?
4 The pen “doesn’t work.”
In order for the pen to write, ink
needs to flow to the pen’s ballpoint
and over it onto a surface
where it is deposited.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHENOMENON:
Ink doesn’t flow over the pen’s point.
2 Defining the Phenomenon to be analyzed.
Trang 31☯ First “Why” about the Phenomenon
☯ This question needs to be answered from a physical and/or logical point of view.
☯ The question needs to be answered for each element involved in the description made in the previous step.
☯ At this point, focus on the evidence of the flaws, that is:
☯ a) Verify the evidence of the causes of the problem
in the field (whether it exists or not, stopping the analysis for that branch when the cause doesn’t exist).
☯ b) If it is possible to put a direct countermeasure to the cause into place, do it and stop the analysis
ensure that procedures or standards are in place to maintain condition achieved
3 Establishing Cause-Effect Relationship.
Trang 32Why does it happen?
☯ Ask the first “Why?” question and answer it for each phenomenon.
1 The light bulb
“doesn’t go on” 2 “He slipped”
3 The match
“won’t light”
4 The pen
“doesn’t work”
Work group activity (4)
Time: 15’
3 Establishing Cause-Effect Relationship.
Trang 33Why does that happen?
1 The light bulb “doesn’t go on”
FIRST WHY:
Why is the flow of electric current through the filament insufficient
o non-existent?
(The flow of electric current in a flow
of free electrons in the material).
a) There aren’t any free electrons in the material
(The filament material is a dielectric) b) There’s no energy to move the electrons
c) There is not enough energy
d) There is nowhere for the electrons to flow
(The filament is broken)
Eliminated by evidence.
3 Establishing Cause-Effect Relationship.
Trang 34b) There is a lubricant between the surfaces.
3 Establishing Cause-Effect Relationship.
Trang 353 The match “won’t light”
FIRST WHY:
Why is there not enough friction between the match
head and the matchbox strip to produce the heat
needed to cause ignition?
Why does that happen?
(In this case of friction, what is important is that heat be generated)
a) The pressure applied between the match and the
matchbox is too low.
b) The surface of the matchbox is not rough enough.
c) The surface of the match head is not rough enough.
d) There is a lubricant between the surfaces.
e) The friction duration is not long enough to heat the
match head and produce ignition.
3 Establishing Cause-Effect Relationship.
Trang 364 The pen “doesn’t work.”
FIRST WHY:
Why doesn’t the ink flow over
the pen’s point?
Why does that happen?
a) Ink isn’t reaching the pen’s point.
b) There’s no pressure on the ink to the
pen’s point (Gravity, others)
c) There’s nowhere for the ink to flow.
(The ballpoint is blocked.)
d) The ink doesn’t flow over the other
surface.
(Writing “in the air,” or on ice, etc.)
3 Establishing Cause-Effect Relationship.
Trang 37Steps for developing a Why - Why Analysis:
☯ Second “Why”
☯ For each answer to the “Why?” in the previous step, the question “Why?” is asked again.
☯ The answer in this case, and from here
on, should consider the “4 - M’s.”
3 Establishing Cause-Effect Relationship.
Trang 38How to Verify Causes
a guide
☯ Go look, listen, feel, ask - “Watch
with a purpose”
☯ Make the fix (restore) and monitor
Do the verification on the floor

4 Logical Review of the Analysis
Trang 40“If we solve these causes, (1, 2, 8)
is it possible that ZERO will be reached (Branch “A”)?”
CAUSE # 1
Branch “A”
CAUSE # 2 CAUSE # 3 CAUSE # 4 CAUSE # 5 CAUSE # 6 CAUSE # 7 CAUSE # 8
4 Logical Review of the Analysis
Trang 41Repeat the question branch by branch until
the entire analysis has been verified.
BRANCH “A”
Main branch “AA”
BRANCH “C” BRANCH “D” BRANCH “E” BRANCH “F” BRANCH “G” BRANCH “H” BRANCH “B”

4 Logical Review of the Analysis
5 Checking for Standards and SOP’s
Trang 44Notes and Advice:
☯ The analysis should be done at the problem area, not in another location that is isolated from the case.
☯ The analysis is a team effort, not by just one person.
☯ The most important thing is the physical and/or
logical description of the phenomenon to be studied (Step 1)
☯ The Analysis ends when countermeasures TO
AVOID RECURRENCE of the phenomenon are
found.
Trang 45ALWAYS make a sketch or drawing of the
phenomenon.
The 4-M’s don’t always apply to every cause to
be analyzed, but we should always consider
them so as not to forget possible “causes of
causes.”
The more simplicity and objectivity in steps 1 and 2, the easier it is to ensure that all possible causes are covered.
Practice develops skill.
This tool makes us more objective in our way
of looking at things.
Notes and Advice:
