Abstract. As part of the quality of products, corrective actions are necessary. In this context, organizations should use different methods to skillfully analyze product incompatibilities and their causes. The aim of a study is to propose the method for determining the degree of impact of causes on the occurrence of incompatibilities. This method is a new combination of Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) with known methods: brainstorm, causes and effects diagram, and important technique. The method was tested for an example of a cast alloy product.
