Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

A structured approach to uncovering the true source of problems and preventing them from recurring.

Overview

Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is fundamental to Lean Six Sigma success, enabling teams to identify the true cause of issues rather than treating symptoms.

KID-CAN uses proven tools such as 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagrams, Pareto Analysis, Control Charts, and Kepner-Tregoe to guide teams through a structured, data-driven approach to problem-solving. These methods form the Analyze stage of the DMAIC cycle.

Our facilitation ensures discussions remain focused, causes are verified, and improvements address the real issues.
