QHAR concept

The QHAR concept serves to grasp an operational, still relatively abstract formulated problem, to structure it roughly and to make it accessible for further analysis. The acronym QHAR is made up of the terms question, hypothesis (assumption), analysis (analysis) and resources.

• Q uestion: In the first step you try to describe the abstract problem in your own words, trying to get further information that may only come up when questioning and concrete description of the problem.
• H ypothesis: It forms hypotheses about the causes of the problem and tries to derive assumptions for the solution.
• A nalysis: The individual hypotheses are analyzed in detail in order either to verify or discard.
• R esource: The allocation of resources to solve the problem is done here. In particular, this is intended to identify bottlenecks in human resources and on schedule.
