The trainer guide includes training activities, training goals, and tips for supervisors.
Benefits Of The 5 Whys
Help identify the root cause of a problem.
Determine the relationship between different root causes of a problem.
One of the simplest tools; easy to complete without statistical analysis.
When Is 5 Whys Most Useful?
· When problems involve human factors or interactions.
· In day-to-day business life; can be used within or without a Six Sigma project.
How To Complete The 5 Whys
1. Write down the specific problem. Writing the issue helps you formalize the problem and describe it completely. It also helps a team focus on the same problem.2. Ask Why the problem happens and write the answer down below the problem.3. If the answer you just provided doesn’t identify the root cause of the problem that you wrote down in step 1, ask Why again and write that answer down.4. Loop back to step 3 until the team is in agreement that the problem’s root cause is identified. Again, this may take fewer or more times than five Whys.
Common Cause and Special Cause Variation
SPC Charts are used to analyze process performance by plotting data points, control limits, and a centerline. A process should be in control to assess the process capability.
Common cause variation is natural and inherent variation with the process and occurs with every data point (or part being measured). Before assessing the process capability the variation must be common cause variation. It is important to have a meaningful process capability that won't be subject to outliers and unique variation from an unstable process.
Special cause variation is usually identified by points lying outside the upper control limit and lower control limit. However, there are many cases that points may lie within the control limits and still represent special cause variation. Such as trends and other typical influenced variation
Evaluation Committee
Evaluation Committee will consist of members from following Departments :-
Concerned Department
Finance Department

HR Department - Convenor
Based on nature of suggestion, the Committee can co-opt members from other departments.
The Suggestion Scheme will be coordinated by HR department along with WCM.
