The document discusses fishbone analysis (also known as Ishikawa diagram), which is a tool for systematically analyzing the potential causes of quality, process, or project problems. It provides the following key points: 1. Dr. Kaoru Ishikawa invented the fishbone diagram to systematically analyze the effects and causes that contribute to those effects. 2. The fishbone diagram looks like the skeleton of a fish, with the "head" representing the problem/effect and the "bones" and sub-branches representing categories of causes and specific potential causes. 3. Basic steps for constructing a fishbone diagram include identifying the problem/effect, categorizing potential cause factors, brainstorming specific causes within

- 2. Fishbone Diagram – Problem Analysis Tool What is a Fishbone diagram? Dr. Kaoru Ishikawa, a Japanese quality control statistician, invented the fishbone diagram. Therefore, it may be referred to as the Ishikawa diagram. The fishbone diagram is an analysis tool that provides a systematic way of looking at effects and the causes that create or contribute to those effects.
- 3. Fishbone Diagram – Problem Analysis Tool Because of the function of the fishbone diagram, it may be referred to as a cause-and-effect diagram. The design of the diagram looks much like the skeleton of a fish. Therefore, it is often referred to as the fishbone diagram.
- 4. Fishbone Diagram – Problem Analysis Tool The value of the fishbone diagram is to assist teams in categorizing the many potential causes of problems or issues in an orderly way and in identifying root causes.
- 5. Usefulness of Fishbone Analysis it can be used when the team... - needs to study a problem/issue to determine the root cause - wants to study all the possible reasons why a process is beginning to have difficulties, problems, or breakdowns - needs to identify areas for data collection - wants to study why a process is not performing properly or producing the desired results
- 6. Tools on Fishbone diagrams The 4 W's of the Fishbone diagram should be considered. The 4 W's are: 1. What - refers to questions concerning objects such as machines and materials, 2. Why - which is concerned with questions on the conditions such as motivation, 3. When - refers to problems concerning the time sequence in the process such as the time of day or sequence in production, 4. Where - is concerned with the effects associated with place, such as a production line, branch office, or loading dock.
- 7. Tools on Fishbone diagrams For manufacturing problems, the 5 M's are a useful tool in finding possible causes to a problem. The 5 M's are characterized as - manpower, - materials, - methods, - machines, and - measurements.
- 8. Tools on Fishbone diagrams For problems that are being examined in the service industry, the 5 P's can be used to develop the Cause Effect (CE)/Fishbone diagram: - People (employees) - Provisions (supplies) - Procedures (processes) - Place (environment) - Patrons (customers)
- 9. How does it look like? An example… Situation: The goal of not meeting a deadline is influenced by a number of factors. The diagram (that follows) depicts 4 broad categories under which are grouped causes that we have identified as driving forces or obstacles.
- 10. Rules/Techniques of Fishbone Analysis Basic Steps: 1. Draw the fishbone diagram.... 2. List the problem/issue/goal to be studied in the "head of the fish". (1st level – main line) 3. Label each "bone" of the "fish". (2nd level). List each 2nd level cause to the 1st level. 4. The major categories for the 2nd level are typically utilized as:
- 11. An example of a fishbone diagram An example: Problem - Not meeting deadline
- 12. Fishbone diagram in Manufacturing environments FISHBONE DIAGRAM Goal Measurement Materials Methods Environment People Machines Broad category
- 13. Rules/Techniques of Fishbone Analysis 5. Use an idea-generating technique (e.g., brainstorming) to identify the factors within each category that may be affecting the problem/issue and/or effect being studied.This is known as the 3rd level. The team should ask... "What are the machine issues affecting/causing..."
- 14. Rules/Techniques of Fishbone Analysis 6. Repeat this procedure with each factor under the category to produce sub-factors. Continue asking, "Why is this happening?“ (4th level) and put additional segments in each factor and subsequently under each sub-factor. 7. Continue until you no longer get useful information as you ask, "Why is that happening?"
- 15. Rules/Techniques of Fishbone Analysis 8. Analyze the results of the fishbone after team members agree that an adequate amount of detail has been provided under each major category. Do this by looking for those items that appear in more than one category. These become the 'most likely causes".
- 16. Rules/Techniques of Fishbone Analysis 9. For those items identified as the "most likely causes", the team should reach consensus on listing those items in priority order with the first item being the most “probable” cause. Two examples of fish diagrams follow which includes an analysis of a company’s performance.
