What is root cause analysis in variance?

Root cause analysis in variance is a method used to identify the underlying reasons for discrepancies in data or processes.

Can you give me an example of how it's applied?

Sure! For instance, if a manufacturing process shows a variance in product quality, root cause analysis can help identify whether it's due to machine malfunction, material defects, or operator error.

What tools can I use for root cause analysis?

Common tools include the 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagram, and Pareto Analysis, which help systematically identify causes.

How do I implement this in my team?

Start by training your team on the tools, then encourage them to document issues and apply root cause analysis during problem-solving sessions.
