What You Gain from Structured 5 Whys Analysis

EviView turns 5 whys from a brainstorming method into a traceable, cross-functional process. Each question leads to a deeper cause, and every cause is followed through. Investigations stay focused. Actions get done. And teams can see exactly what was asked, why it matters, and how it was resolved. Root cause chains are no longer hidden in spreadsheets or isolated reports, they’re captured, visible, and connected to accountable follow-up. It’s problem solving with clarity, not guesswork.

Integrated With RCA, Built for Execution

Consistent root cause analysis depends on more than just tools—it requires habits teams can actually apply. EviView makes 5 Whys easy to use, easy to repeat, and impossible to overlook. Each analysis is embedded into your site's investigation process, linked with existing escalation paths, and standardized across shifts. It’s not an extra form—it’s a familiar step teams rely on when solving real problems on the floor.
