What methods do you use for Root Cause Analysis?

We are now working to issue 5 which heavily features Root Cause Analysis for audits and incidents. I'm just wondering how others are approaching this? What methods do you carry out RCA with?
Determining Root Cause
SQF 2.4.3.7 - Hazard Analysis
Effective evaluation methods of food safety training
In CFR 111 must we reconfirm suppliers certificate of analysis for flavors and color?
NIAS analysis required for food PET bottles and PE closures

I've used 5 Whys in a micro lab. Worked well there.
Hi Rosemary, if you didn't catch it maybe you could get a few ideas form this previous Food Safety Fridays webinar.

We started using 5 why last year.
Fishbone was used before and still applies sometimes

Depends on what the application is. I use 5-Why for audit or systems non-conformances but I find Fishbone to be most effective for factory floor incidents. Fishbone is especially helpful when engaging stakeholders from a range of departments/skill sets in a group so that the exercise is more comprehensive and adds more value through engagement and ownership of the issues and resolutions.
