The Fishbone Diagram, also known as the Ishikawa Diagram, helps teams systematically identify and explore all potential causes of a problem. Stop treating symptoms and find the real root causes.
Organize causes into the classic 6M categories: Man, Machine, Method, Material, Measurement, and Mother Nature. This comprehensive framework ensures no potential cause is overlooked.
Fishbone Diagrams are perfect for brainstorming sessions. Gather input from cross-functional teams to leverage diverse perspectives and uncover causes that might otherwise be missed.
Create Fishbone Diagrams (Ishikawa Diagrams) for root cause analysis. Created by Kaoru Ishikawa in the 1960s, use the 6M framework to systematically identify causes of problems. Free online cause-and-effect diagram tool.
Created by Kaoru Ishikawa in the 1960s at Tokyo University, this diagram revolutionized how teams approach problem-solving. Its distinctive fish-shaped structure naturally guides cause-and-effect thinking.
Also called the Cause-and-Effect Diagram, it remains one of the Seven Basic Tools of Quality and is widely used in manufacturing, healthcare, service industries, and project management.
Start by defining the problem or effect in the fish head. Then, for each of the 6M categories on the bones, brainstorm all possible causes. Add sub-causes to dive deeper into each area.
Once complete, analyze which causes are most likely and verify with data. This transforms brainstorming into a structured investigation that leads to effective solutions.
After identifying potential causes, use Pareto Charts to prioritize which ones to address first. Verify causes with data using Control Charts and Scatter Diagrams. Track improvements with Check Sheets.
