Do You Really Want the Easiest Root Cause Analysis?
What Do You Need?
How do you choose the root cause analysis system that your company needs? What do you consider? That is the topic of an upcoming article (publishing on September 23). This article covers a question people often ask…
“What is the easiest
Root Cause Analysis System?”
I know the answer. Read on to find out!
Easiest Root Cause Analysis System
Many systems claim to be easy. AI says the easiest is 5-Whys. It actually used one of our articles to justify its answer. But that’s not right. Here is the easiest…
Spin-a-Cause™. You can buy it HERE.
How do you use Spin-a-Cause™? Just spin the pointer … you get the root cause and a corrective action. Very similar to other “easy” root cause analysis tools. But it is easier, faster, and cheaper! Easier than 5-Whys.
And if you want multiple causation? Just spin the pointer multiple times. Three should be good enough.
What about using Spin-a-Cause™ for audits or assessments? That’s easy too! Just point the pointer to the answer you want. Just like a real audit. See the example below…
In that example, you have found an equipment failure that needs to be fixed!
Plus, Spin-a-Cause™ went high-tech. We had a Spin-a-Cause™ app (sadly now gone).
Perhaps we should develop an AI Spin-a-Cause? But would that be easier than spinning a pointer?
Is This a Joke?
I wish this was a joke. Spin-a-Cause™ was born from my frustration when people sincerely were looking for the easiest answer. They didn’t consider the quality of the answer. Why? Perhaps they had never seen advanced root cause analysis that solves a problem once and for all. Or maybe they were investigating problems so trivial they never should have been investigated.
In August 1994, I first published the first Spin-a-Cause™. You could make one for yourself (a cut-out example – see the original article below).
And it’s had several upgrades over the years…
But I haven’t retired the idea, even though it’s been 31+ years since the first Spin-a-Cause™. Why? Because people keep asking for the easiest RCA. So, if that’s what you are thinking, just CLICK HERE and for just $14.95 plus shipping and handling, you can get fast, easy answers. Order NOW before the price increases in these days of continuous inflation.
The Real Answer
Yes, I continue to recommend Spin-a-Cause to those looking for the easiest answer. I hope the ridiculousness of this answer shocks them into looking for something more than the easiest answer.
