How To Create a MS Visio Cause and Effect Diagram Using ConceptDraw PRO

Cause-and-Effect Ishikawa Diagram is a graphical method of analysis and cause-effect relationships, a tool in the form of fish bone. It is used to systematically determine the cause of the problem and represent it graphically. The technique is primarily used in the framework of quality management for the analysis of quality problems and their causes. Nowadays, it has found worldwide distribution and is used in multiple problem areas. It is one of the tools of lean manufacturing, which is used in group work to find the problems and their causes. ConceptDraw PRO allows you to easily create Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagram and then make a MS Visio VSDX, or VSD files from your diagrams in a couple clicks, using the export capabilities of ConcewptDraw PRO.
