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.
