Root Cause / 5 Why

Use Root Cause / 5 Why when repeat failure, defect, downtime, safety exposure, or process abnormality needs evidence-centered investigation before action.

Managed flow

Investigate to verified cause before assigning action.

Root cause discipline keeps the team from correcting the symptom and calling it done.

1. Problem statement

State the abnormality, where it happened, when it happened, and why it matters.

Event workspace

Build the Root Cause / 5 Why package.

Capture problem statement, evidence, Why chain, cause validation, corrective and preventive action, verification, sustainment, V.A.U.L.T. retention, and KPI preview.

Evidence + attachment readiness

Stage the proof package before V.A.U.L.T. retention.

Use references, filenames, work order numbers, photo notes, and document links for now. This does not upload files yet; it prepares the evidence path so the final V.A.U.L.T. handoff is not scattered.
