Root Cause Analysis (Ishikawa / 5-Why)

Conduct a structured root cause analysis for the following problem:

**Problem / Symptom:**
[PROBLEM DESCRIPTION]

**Context:**
- When did the problem occur? [DATE/PERIOD]
- How often / how frequently? [FREQUENCY]
- What are the impacts? [IMPACTS]
- Previous measures tried: [SOLUTIONS ALREADY ATTEMPTED]

**Method 1: 5-Why Analysis**
Step through:
- Why did the problem occur? → Cause 1
- Why did Cause 1 occur? → Cause 2
- Why did Cause 2 occur? → Cause 3
- Why did Cause 3 occur? → Cause 4
- Why did Cause 4 occur? → Root Cause

**Method 2: Ishikawa Diagram (Fishbone)**
Analyze causes in the following categories:
- People: qualifications, behavior, communication
- Machine/Technology: failures, configuration errors
- Method/Process: process errors, missing standards
- Material: quality issues, supplier problems
- Environment: external factors
- Management: steering, resources, priorities

**Root Cause & Actions**
- Identified root cause(s)
- Immediate actions (short-term)
- Corrective actions (medium-term)
- Preventive actions (long-term)
- Owners and timeline

Formulate clear, actionable measures with measurable success criteria.
