When they think their processes have all reached an improvement plateau. When they are required to improve performance in all areas of their business process.

9. Crime Analysis:- In the departments like Police or CID for the investigation and analysis of a crime,one should follow the 5W and 1H.There is a process to be followed while investigating a case or crime What happened?   This entails spelling out the sequence of events and the actions of those involved. Where did it happen?   Sometimes the sequence of events takes place in several locations. For example, a car might be stolen from a parking lot, moved to a garage for stripping of valuable parts, and then dumped on a piece of wasteland. Information may only be available about the first and last locations. Visiting these can help explain why the offender selected them.

10. When did it happen?   Householders or car owners might know only that their car was stolen or their house burgled "sometime during the weekend." For many interpersonal crimes, however, the victim will be able to report precisely when the crime occurred ,which may permit inferences about such matters as whether the streets were deserted. Who was involved?  There is always at least one offender; there may be one or more victims even if they have no direct contact with the offender; there may be witnesses and other third parties. Statements in police records made by witnesses and victims can provide much useful information, but it might sometimes be important to question a sample about the event.

11. Why did they act as they did?   It is important to understand the specific benefits that a particular kind of crime brings to the offender. In many cases of theft, the motive will be obvious, but for interpersonal crimes and for vandalism the motives may only emerge from interviewing offenders . Equally important for prevention may be to understand why victims and witnesses behaved as they did and to answer such questions as "What causes some victims to respond by attacking the offender?" and "Why do witnesses often fail to intervene?" How did the offender carry out the crime?  Crime can be thought of as a process, with several steps from initiation to completion, rather than a circumscribed act occurring at a specific point in time. At each step the offender must make decisions, might need to work with others, and might need to employ specific knowledge and tools.
