5-Truths About Root Cause Analysis (Learned from the Japanese)
Jul 03, 2023When I worked in Japanese Automotive over two-decades ago, my first role was in Quality Assurance.
- My primary responsibility was to investigate quality defects for Honda of North America,
- Lead a team to resolve the issue and then

- And how we would GUARANTEE that issue would never happen again.

However, learning how to solve problems and get the the root cause from Japanese teachers, built my problem solving skills from ZERO to EXPERT in just three-years.
I discuss the 5-Truths I learned about Root Cause Analysis in my recent YouTube video.
Spoiler alert: Working 20 hour days to solve a problem did happen! The video details what I learned plus the 1-Statement that changed my perspective on Japanese training and coaching methods.
