One of the useful features, mostly missed, is to use this as an Effect-Cause diagram. Many times management wants an effect - start 5 product launches by quarter-end, create a new facility, or complete a project. Then the principle can be used for identifying the factors crucial for completing the project. The procedure for identifying the factors is the same, except that we are using this for factors, not causes. I have used this successfully and have got results.

Fishbone Diagram: A Tool for Problem Solving

The Fishbone diagram is a standard tool for solving problems, and the internet provides a lot of information on this subject. The book titled "Solve that Problem," edited by Steve Smith, gives details and under "How it helps" lists the following:

1. Focus on causes, not symptoms.
2. Capture the collective knowledge and experience of a group (while brainstorming in a group).
3. Provide a picture of why an effect is happening.
4. Establish a sound basis for further data gathering and action.

This tool is widely used in Six Sigma. I have used it with great benefits.

Regards,
VK

Dear Amit, It is a really useful tool for studying the root cause of a problem. It will be particularly useful for people who are practising QCCs. Thanks for sharing.
