5 x why in Radiotherapy
1. Problem:
First Time Right for start treatment is low resulting in increased workload and

or just LATE;
1.
5 x why: 1. why late adjustments >> checkpoints late in relation to start
2. why checkpoints late >> no flow, push into the process,
3. why push, no pull >> fixed startdate
4. why fixed startdate >> to have an endpoint
5. why? >> to be in time for the patient
