“…First, the taxonomy is a generic classification that encompasses structure, purpose, and function. Other schemes tend to focus on one or two of these criteria, but do not offer a comprehensive perspective (Barnett and Ceci, 2002;Boukendour and Brissaud, 2005). Secondly, the taxonomy proposed in this paper applies to individual nuggets of knowledge as well as to collections of nuggets or KSs.…”

This paper proposes a hierarchical taxonomy of knowledge and knowledge systems (KS) in organizations. The taxonomy is based on four criteria: structure (how knowledge is designed and what it contains); purpose (what is the knowledge for); function (what the knowledge does); and disciplinary content. Each criterion is further classified into distinct types of knowledge. The hierarchical taxonomy is then codified by means of a numerical system which serves to identity each type and unit of knowledge, down to the elemental knowledge nugget. The paper describes the taxonomy and the system of codification, and discusses issues of calibration and validation. The advantages and limitations of the taxonomy are also discussed.

“…Five whys is a method to determine the root cause of a problem (Boukendour and Brissaud, 2005) by repeatedly asking the question why (Fogle and Kandler, 2017) and is "used for drilling down into a problem" (Fonseca, Lima and Silva, 2015 p. 609). The root cause is the "failure mode of the lowest level why that can be eliminated to prevent the failure and in which control over the failure mode exists" (George, Ranjha and Kulkarni, 2021, p.698).…”

Purpose: This research seeks to understand the purpose five whys is used for in industry as well as what quality tools are used together with five whys. Methodology/Approach: A survey was sent to organizations previously identified for an unrelated survey. The survey was sent to 98 organizations in Poland and 47 organizations responded. There were four respondents who reported being unfamiliar with five whys and their responses were discarded. The reported uses of five whys were assessed using a Chi-square goodness of fit test. The way in which five whys is used, either as a brainstorming tool or a method that requires investigation, and the purpose of five whys were compared to the intended use using a hypothesis test of two proportions. The quality tools used with five whys was then assessed using a Chi-square goodness of fit test. Findings: Although more respondents use five whys as a root cause analysis (RCA) tool, the difference was not statistically significant. Respondents who used five whys with investigation used five whys as both a method for quality improvement and RCA more often than those who used five whys as a brainstorming tool without investigation. There was no statistically significant difference in using five whys for RCA and those who used five whys as a brainstorming tool reported using five whys for quality improvement more often. Although many different quality tools were reported, the Ishikawa diagram is by far the quality tool used the most with five whys. Research Limitation/Implication: This paper used a survey that was limited to one region of Poland. Originality/Value of paper: This paper provides the first insights into the use of five whys in organizations; as a method for quality improvement, RCA, or both.
