Purposes • To break down ( in successive layers of details) root causes that potentially contribute to a particular effect • Identifying possible causes for a problems.
Step to create Ishikawa diagram • Create a head, which lists the problem or issue to be studied. • Create a backbone for the fish (straight line which leads to the head). • Identify at least four “causes” that contribute to the problem. Connect these four causes with arrows to the spine. These will create the first bones of the fish. • Brainstorm around each “cause” to document those things that contributed to the cause. Use the 5 Whys or another questioning process such as the 4P’s (Policies, Procedures, People and Plant) to keep the conversation focused. • Continue breaking down each cause until the root causes have been identified.
