The 5 Whys framework is beneficial in process optimization as it helps in identifying the root cause of a problem. By asking 'why' five times, it allows teams to dive deeper into an issue, beyond the surface level. This can lead to uncovering systemic issues that might be causing inefficiencies or problems.
