Fishbone Diagram Template

A causal model is an abstract concept, that describes the causal mechanisms of a system, by noting certain variables and their influence on each other, in an effort to discover the cause of a certain problem or flaw. This model is presented in diagram form by using a Fishbone diagram — also known as a Cause and Effect diagram, Herringbone diagram or Ishikawa diagram, the latter name referring to the inventor of the technique, Kaoru Ishikawa. The fish-themed names are used due to the visual arrangement of the numerous variables, designed to represent the ribs of a skeletal fish, so that arrow directs into a central spine whereupon the main problem is placed where the head would be.

Fishbone diagram shows factors of:

  • Equipment,
  • Process,
  • People,
  • Materials,
  • Environment,
  • and Management,

all affecting the overall problem in one drawing for the further analysis and problem solving.
