• born in Tokio 1915
• graduated University of Tokyo in 1939 with an
  Engineering degree in applied chemistry
• worked as a naval technical officer until 1941
• worked for Nissan Liquid Fuel Company
                                                           Kaoru Ishikawa
• associate professor at the University of Tokyo in 1947   (1915 - 1989)
• famous person in Qualitymanagement
• not only product quality
• but also e.g. quality of Management and assistant
• developed several quality-tools
• One of these tools is the Ishikawa-Diagram
  (also called Fishbone- or cause and effect diagram)
basic concept
The Idea:




think about possible causes and reasons leading to
an effect or a problem




find solution for preventing those problems
basic concept
• one problem/effect
• 7 causes lead to the problem/effect
• the causes are divided into main- and sidecauses
 The 7 causes are:
 1. Methods
 2. Machinery
 3. Management
 4. Materials
 5. Manpower
 6. Environment
 7. Measurement
basic concept
individual problem/effect needs individual factors

aim
• find the causes, main- and sidecauses
• clarity
• interdependence of the causes
• improve them for having the wanted effect
  or eliminate them for solving the problem
