What are the different methods of problem solving?
There’s more than one way to solve a problem. In this lesson, we’ll review the five most common methods: trial and error, difference reduction, means-ends analysis, working backwards, and analogies.

- Pareto Chart.
- 5 Whys.
- Fishbone Diagram.
- Scatter Plot Diagram.
- Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
How many tools are used for problem solving?
We will cover two of the most basic tools for problem solving: The Five Why’s and The Fishbone Diagram. The Five Why’s is a technique that doesn’t involve data segmentation, hypothesis testing, regression or other advanced statistical tools, and in many cases can be completed without a data collection plan.
How does the 5 Whys work?
The method is remarkably simple: when a problem occurs, you drill down to its root cause by asking “Why?” five times. Then, when a counter-measure becomes apparent, you follow it through to prevent the issue from recurring.
How do you find the root cause?
How to conduct Root Cause Analysis?
- Define the problem. Ensure you identify the problem and align with a customer need.
- Collect data relating to the problem.
- Identify what is causing the problem.
- Prioritise the causes.
- Identify solutions to the underlying problem and implement the change.
- Monitor and sustain.
What are the six steps of root cause analysis?
Let’s start by looking at the six steps to perform root cause analysis, according to ASQ.
- Define the event.
- Find causes.
- Finding the root cause.
- Find solutions.
- Take action.
- Verify solution effectiveness.
