AI Copilot Inside · Interactive FTA / 5-Why

From the shop-floor "why?"
to the root cause
— just by talking with AI.

The diagram grows as you chat. AI digs into causes grounded in your internal documents, then exports 8D corrective action reports in one click.

01Challenges / PROBLEM

Paper, Excel, and dependence on the one person who can write it. Root-cause analysis always lands heavy on someone.

01

Reports stuck on paper

Handwritten forms get lost and transcription lags. Analysis often lands weeks after the incident.

02

Scattered information

Safety data is spread across Excel, email and cabinets — you never see the whole picture.

03

Always reacting

With no real-time signals, you fight fires after the fact instead of preventing them.

04

Heavy on one person

Few people can write the whys, and formatting a report takes half a day. Prevention quality becomes person-dependent.

02Features / FEATURES

Just talk — and the diagram grows on its own.

"Dig deeper into equipment" — one line, and AI rewrites both the occurrence and outflow branches, grounded in your documents, to submission-ready depth.

When the analysis is done, so is the report.

Customer corrective action reports and ISO/IATF audit responses — the half-day formatting job, reduced to one click.

  • Full D1–D8 format: occurrence/outflow whys, root causes, countermeasures and deployment pre-filled
  • Excel output, so adjusting to your customer's template is straightforward
  • Pending fields (effectiveness check, approval) are left blank for completion
