7 root cause analysis
Gen Mgta technique used in problem solving to identify the underlying reason why something has gone wrong or why a difficulty has arisen. The root cause of a problem may be identified by repeatedly asking the question “Why?”, by examining relationships of cause and effect, or by defining the distinctive features of the problem and developing a number of hypotheses that can be tested. Root cause analysis has been criticized on the grounds that it presupposes a single source for a problem, while in reality the situation may be more complex. -
