1. Potential causes:
In this step, various tools such as affinity diagrams, Ishikawa diagrams, and
Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) can be used to identify potential causes
related to the problem or process under study. For example, let's consider a
manufacturing process where defects are occurring. Through the use of an
Ishikawa diagram, potential causes such as materials, equipment, methods,
people, and environment can be identified as potential contributors to the defects.
2. Validation of potential causes
Once potential causes are identified, statistical and analytical tools can be
employed to analyze and validate their impact. Tools like hypothesis testing,
Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), correlation analysis, Design of Experiments
(DOE), non-parametric statistics, and multivariate statistical methods can be
used. For instance, hypothesis testing can be applied to determine if there is a
significant difference in defect rates between different shifts or equipment setups.
3. Selection of causes to work
After analyzing and validating causes, they need to be prioritized based on their
contribution to the problem or process variability. Tools like cause-and-effect
matrices and FMEA can assist in prioritizing the causes. For example, using a

cause-and-effect matrix, causes can be evaluated based on their potential impact
and feasibility of addressing them, and then ranked accordingly.
4. Determination of degree of improvement
the next step involves making adjustments to the process and reassessing its
capability to measure the degree of improvement achieved in this phase. For
instance, if the root cause of defects was identified as a particular machine
setting, adjustments can be made to that setting, and the process can be
reevaluated to determine if the defect rate has decreased.
5. Conclusions
1. The identification of potential causes using tools such as affinity diagrams,
Ishikawa diagrams, and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) helps
to systematically explore and identify factors that may contribute to a
problem or process variability.
2. The analysis and validation of causes using statistical and analytical tools
such as hypothesis testing, ANOVA, correlation analysis, DOE, non-
parametric statistics, and multivariate methods provide a deeper
understanding of the impact of these causes on the problem or process.
3. Prioritizing and selecting causes to work on based on their contribution
and feasibility is crucial for efficient problem-solving and improvement
efforts. Tools like cause-and-effect matrices and FMEA assist in
prioritizing causes and focusing resources on the most significant
contributors.
4. Once the root cause(s) is identified, making necessary adjustments to the
process and evaluating its capability after implementation helps determine
the effectiveness of the improvement efforts.
