Cause and Effect/Fishbone/Ishikawa/Herringbone Diagram

A Cause and Effect diagram, aka a Fishbone diagram, Ishikawa diagram and Herringbone diagram, is a tool used for problem root cause analysis that helps to identify, sort and display possible causes of a specific problem or quality characteristic.
In Root Cause Analysis (RCA) it graphically illustrates the relationship between a given outcome and all the factors that influence the outcome.
The root cause analysis (RCA) results are typically grouped into categories to identify the sources of variation.
Standardized categories have emerged depending on the industry sector.
This has given rise to three popular Cause and Effect Fishbone diagrams based on the root cause categories.
These are:

• 6 M used in the manufacturing sector
• 7 P used in marketing environments
• 5 S used in the service industries

This Excel workbook provides all three, i.e. 3 templates for the price of one.
The templates are downloadable immediately and come with a No Quibble Money Back Guarantee.
