Supply Chain Problem-Solving Methods
Method #1: The 5 Whys
The 5 Whys is a simple but powerful root-cause analysis tool widely used in supply chain and logistics management.
Example: Shipment Delay (Problem)
Why? – The vessel departure was delayed.
Why? – Space was not secured in time.
Why? – Booking was confirmed too late.
Why? – The shipping plan changed at the last minute.
Why? – Logistics planning was not aligned early with production schedules.
🔹 Repeatedly asking “Why” helps uncover the true root cause
🔹 Logistics providers and suppliers must work together to provide accurate information
🔹 Complex issues may require multiple 5-Why analyses to fully resolve
