creative tool
The 5 Whys tool is a commonly used method for Root Cause Analysis. It is often seen as a simple process of asking the question ‘Why?’ five times to uncover the underlying reason behind a problem. However, this perception is not entirely accurate. The 5 Whys is actually a powerful creative thinking tool designed for thorough problem analysis and resolution.
Here, we present a modified version of the 5 Whys tool, incorporating concepts developed by PRIZ Guru Inc. This modified version offers the following key features:
The 5+Whys technique is a valuable tool for creative thinking that helps break free from psychological inertia. It redirects our focus towards a logical analysis of sequential causes and effects. By utilizing this tool, we can achieve a deeper understanding of systems and generate effective solutions. Here are some notable benefits associated with using the 5+Whys technique:
The 5+Whys tool is highly effective in providing quick responses and is invaluable in various scenarios. It is especially useful for addressing unexpected parameter deviations (excursions) and analyzing and resolving chronic problems. Some notable applications include:
Furthermore, the 5+Whys thinking tool is versatile and can be applied in numerous other contexts to harness its creative problem-solving potential.
The process is related to microelectronics - microchip manufacturing.The purpose of the process is to create a SiO2 layer on the surface of a Si wafer. Equipment: Vertical furnace to heat the wafers in the Q2 atmosphere and perform oxidation on the wafer surface. Process: The oxidation occurs on the front side and on the back side of the wafer Requirements: Create a SiO2 thin layer with a certain thickness and low sigma - low standard deviation of the thickness between the wafers and within the waferFailure: Wafers from the lower zone have higher thickness and significantly higher within wafer sigma (standard deviation of the thickness within the wafer)

Excited to share our latest project at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev! 🚀 We tackled the pressing issue of solar panel waste and explored innovative recycling solutions to make solar energy truly sustainable.Key insights:Solar panel waste could hit 78 million metric tons by 2050. Only 10% of panels are currently recycled in the EU. Our project highlights the need for efficient recycling technologies, better regulations, and economic incentives to drive sustainable practices.Let’s work together for a greener future! 🌱
This project aims to develop an efficient and reproducible method for synthesizing perovskites from metals with halides. The focus will be on addressing material synthesis challenges, ensuring scalability from laboratory to industrial production, optimizing the physical and chemical properties, and minimizing the environmental impact.
Wet cleaning is widely used in microchip manufacturing. Single wafer equipment is working as follows. A wafer rotates, and chemistry is poured from a movable nozzle. Water rinsing is performed at the end of the process. Loading of a new batch of the chemistry resulted in excursion - a strongly increased amount of defects was observed on the wafer after the processing. The project is dedicated to the failure analysis and creation of innovative solutions.
Chilled water is used for production equipment cooling. Suddenly pH of the water started to drop. The aim of the project is to analyze the issue, understand the root cause, and propose solutions to the problem.
The aim of the project is to evaluate the amount of removed corrosion on a cold-rolled steel 1008 specimen after the use of a rust remover.
In past decades, polymeric micropillar devices have gained a great deal of attention in micro and nano technology research as the result of their potential and practical usage in many applications. This project is going to deal with the process of how to fabricate the magnetic micropillars, from the beginning â the planning and design, improving the existing process, lithography to create the base silicon mold and then creating the PDMS pillars that contains nano magnetic particles of Fe_3 O_4, the process today is not efficient enough in terms of cost and time and we are wishing to improve it, in the end we will have a device with micro-pillars that can move correspondingly to external magnetic field which will help us to do many advanced experiments in the biology field like using the device for cell stimulation.
