Batch Traceability Failure 5 Whys
Drawing preview
O cenário

During a food safety audit, a batch of canned soup could not be traced back to its raw materials, triggering a root cause analysis using the Five Whys technique.

O que há neste desenho

Entenda as decisões por trás dele.

01

Apply Five Whys to investigate the traceability gap

02

Identify barcode scanner malfunction as immediate cause

03

Probe for systemic causes (maintenance, asset mgmt, budget)

04

Conclude root cause is lack of management commitment to traceability

This flowchart template can be adapted to any root cause investigation in food processing by replacing the specific cause chain with the incident's unique failure points.
