Fishbone Diagram Problem Solving
The Ishikawa diagram, Cause and Effect diagram, Fishbone diagram — all they are the names of one and the same visual method for working with causal connections. Originally invented by Kaoru Ishikawa to control the process quality, the Ishikawa diagram is well proven in other fields of management and personal scheduling, events planning, time management.
The Fishbone diagram is one of the main tools used to measure, assess, monitor and improve the quality of production processes and is included to the list of Seven tools of quality control. The Ishikawa diagram allows you to organize the reasons in a convenient visual format, to find among them the main, to identify the major causation factors and consequences in the interesting problem or situation, and also to prevent the occurrence of undesirable factors and causes.
The Ishikawa diagram is a chart in the form of a fish, whose head is a problem, the fins are variants for its causes. At this it is important to indicate the really essential reasons, without going into too much detailing.
To design easily the Fishbone diagram, you can use a special ConceptDraw DIAGRAM ector graphic and diagramming software which contains the powerful tools for Fishbone diagram problem solving offered by Fishbone Diagrams solution for the Management area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

This template shows the Context Diagram. It was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software using the Block Diagrams Solution from the “Diagrams” area of ConceptDraw Solution Park. The context diagram graphically identifies the system. external factors, and relations between them. It’s a high level view of the system. The context diagrams are widely used in software engineering and systems engineering for designing the systems that process the information.
