2. •Cause and Effect diagram devised by Professor Kaoru
Ishikawis also known as Ishikawa diagram or Fishbone
diagram. This diagram helps to categorize all possible
causes of a specific problem, and identify the reason
for a process not working out.

brainstorming session to focus on the conversation and
help the group to determine important causes with more
detail. The diagram resembles the skeleton of a fish and
hence the name ‘Fishbone diagram’ is given.

6. Steps for constructing Cause and Effect diagram
· Identify the problem to be analyzed which is the head.
· Create a problem box displaying the problem and draw
spine (draw horizontal arrow pointing to the right).
· Identify the main causes contributing to the problem.
These causes are displayed as arrows to the spine similar
to the bones of the fish. .
7. · Sort out other causes influencing the problem (effect).
· Analyze the diagram to determine the root cause.
Hence, Cause and Effect diagram drives out all the causes
of a problem using the 5 W’s (when, where, why, who,
what) to provide an effective solution.
