Question
Root cause analysis (RCA) is a problem solving technique to find the actual cause of the
problems which usually lie underneath the visible symptoms. It requires thorough analysis
steps and investigation to find the actual cause. 5 WHY analysis is one of the commonly use
RCA technique. Complete the Table 2 using given possible causes listed below in correct
sequences.
Problem: The machine at the production suddenly stopped
The circuit was overloaded, causing the fuse to
blow.
Bearing locked up because insufficient
Jubrication
2 WHY the circuit overloaded?
3 WHY was the insufficient lubricant?
5 WHY is the pump clogged with metal?
The pump strainer was broken.
Solution :
WHY the machine stopped?
Hire new technician
WHY the pump circulate oils?
WHY technician did not perform inspection?
Pump in good condition
Replace a new strainer with correct size.
WHY the pump circulate less oil?
Pump clogged with metal shaving.
Pump not circulating enough oil
WHY the operator stopped the machine?
New operator does not know the procedures
