About this listen

In this deep-dive episode, we explore the transformative impact of the 5 Whys technique—reimagined as 5+Whys—for quality assurance and root cause analysis in manufacturing. Host Donna sits down with Dr. Thinkman, QA innovation expert from PRIZ Guru, to uncover how this method goes far beyond a simple questioning tool.

Together, they discuss how the 5+Whys technique helps teams reach the heart of persistent problems, generate actionable solutions, and drive continuous improvement across semiconductors, chemistry, and metallurgy industries. Dr. Thinkman shares insights on creative thinking, avoiding superficial fixes, and leveraging tools like machine-assisted analysis and structured idea evaluation. You'll also hear real-world examples of how the technique has improved yield, reduced defects, and fostered innovation in complex manufacturing environments.

Whether you're a quality leader, engineer, or process owner, this conversation will shift your thinking about problem-solving—and why asking "Why?" is just the beginning.
