Featured Ishikawa (Cause and Effect) Diagram Templates
Introduction to Ishikawa Diagram
The cause-and-effect diagram, also called "fishbone" or the "Ishikawa diagram" (named after its inventor) permits identification and organization of a list of factors causing a problem or affecting variation in the desired outcome. The fishbone diagram is essentially a pictorial display of a list. Each diagram has a long arrow pointing to the name of the problem or issue. The branches of the arrow represent the main categories of potential causes. Smaller branches, representing sub-categories, are then drawn off of each major branch. Refer to this ultimate cause and effect diagram tutorial for a complete guide.
