Incident Report Process

Root Cause Analysis:

Goal = Answer: What happened? Why did it happen? What do you do to prevent if from

happening again?

Incident Report Process: Five Why’s Technique

Example:Problem Statement: You are on your way home from work and your car stops

in the middle of the road.

1. Why did your car stop?   - Because it ran out of gas.

2. 2. Why did it run out of gas?   - Because I didn't buy any gas on my way to work.

3.3. Why didn't you buy any gas this morning?   - Because I didn't have any money.

4. 4. Why didn't you have any money?   - Because I lost it all last night in a poker game.

5. 5. Why did you lose your money in last night's poker game?   - Because I'm not very good at "bluffing" when I don't have a good

hand.

or processes System failure
