In order to catch its prey‚ Polar Bears usually stalk their breathing holes and wait for the seal to emerge for air. Each seal has anywhere from ten to fifteen air holes‚ so the Polar Bear must be extremely patient in order to catch its prey. They can stalk one hole for days at a time in order to catch one seal.

How would this affect the carrying capacities for both the whales and the seals? 4. If another source of prey were available to the whales‚ what changes in population size would you expect for the seals and the whales? Bryn Celli Ddu6.

Root Cause Analysis 1 Root Cause Analysis • Root Cause Analysis is a method that is used to address a problem or non-conformance‚ in order to get to the “root cause” of the problem. It is used so we can correct or eliminate the cause‚ and prevent the problem from recurring. • Traditional applications of Root Cause Analysis – Resolution of customer complaints and returns. – Disposition of non-conforming material (Scrap and Repair) via the Material Review process. – Corrective action plans
