The document discusses a cause-effect diagram, also known as an Ishikawa or fishbone diagram, which is a tool used to identify and display potential causes of a problem or quality characteristic. It then provides an example cause-effect diagram analyzing the root causes of poor student placement. Some of the key causes identified include lack of student interest, poor soft skills, inadequate advising and career counseling, and limited course offerings. Finally, the conclusion states that creating this diagram increased understanding of the various factors responsible for poor student placement outcomes.

2. A Cause-Effect Diagram is a tool that helps identify, sort, and display possible causes
of a specific problem or quality characteristic. It graphically illustrates the relationship
between a given outcome and all the factors that influence the outcome. This type of
diagram is sometimes called an "Ishikawa diagram“ because it was invented by Kaoru
Ishikawa, or a "fishbone diagram" because of the way it looks.
Benefits of using a Cause-and-Effect Diagram
• Helps determine root causes
• Encourages group participation
• Uses an orderly, easy-to-read format
• Indicates possible causes of variation
• Increases process knowledge
• Identifies areas for collecting data

7. Cause and Effect Diagram is an inseparable part of our
life. Now a days in every area for achieving perfection
we need this. Our team learned so many things from this
challenge. It helped us in determining the root causes
of a problem or quality characteristic using a structured
approach. It Increased our knowledge of the process by
helping everyone to learn more about the factors that
are responsible for poor placements. I really appreciate
the thinking of the person who have decided the topic a
part of challenge as while making this diagram we got to
know what are the various reasons behind poor
placements of students.
