How Do You Draw A Fishbone Diagram?
A fishbone diagram, also known as the Ishikawa diagram, is a problem-solving technique that involves a chart that closely resembles a fish skeleton. Fishbone diagrams analyze cause and effect and are often used in groups to solve a process-related problem. Identify the primary problem or effect that you’d like to solve with the fishbone diagram. Draw a long horizontal line. At the right end of the line, write down your problem and draw a box or circle around it. This is the fish head. Draw four to six lines coming off from the horizontal line in the fishbone diagram. Two to three should come off the top of the line and two to three off the bottom. Draw the lines diagonally so they form a series of arrow shapes pointing toward the fish head on the right of the diagram. Label each line with general types of causes that can result in your primary effect, labeled as the fish head. Some causes could be: methods, machines, manpower, materials, measurement, environment, people or process. Ask
