Our project is unique because we have solved the problem through this. Team- Prabh Simran Kaur Ashmeet Kaur

1. CAUSE
AND
EFFECT
DIAGRAM

2. The Cause-and-Effect-Diagram also
referred to as a “Fishbone”
diagram, getting the name from its
resemblance to a fish skeleton when
created.
The main purpose of this diagram is
to:
 define a problem ,
 identify a possible cause ,
 isolate the cause ,

3.  The major purpose of the CE Diagram is to
act as a first step in problem solving by
generating a comprehensive list of possible
causes.
It can lead to immediate identification of
major causes and point to the potential
remedial actions or, failing this, it may
indicate the best potential areas for further
exploration and analysis.
At a minimum, preparing a CE Diagram
will lead to greater understanding of the
problem

4. The CE Diagram was invented by
Professor Kaoru Ishikawa of Tokyo
University, a highly regarded Japanese
expert in quality management.
He first used it in 1943 to help explain to a
group of engineers at Kawasaki Steel Works
how a complex set of factors could be related
to help understand a problem. CE Diagrams
have since become a standard tool of analysis
in Japan and in the West in conjunction with
other analytical and problem-solving tools and
techniques.

5. Developing a CE Diagram in a
team meeting is a very effective
technique for,
concentrating team members’
attention on a specific problem
pooling, and reflecting back,
team thinking
constructing a picture of the
problem at hand without
resorting to the tight discipline of
a flowchart

6. How to draw CE
diagram?

7. Step 1
Write down the effect to be investigated
and draw the ‘backbone’ arrow to it. In the
example shown below the effect is
‘Incorrect deliveries’.

8. Step 2
Identify all the broad areas of enquiry in
which the causes of the effect being
investigated may lie. For incorrect
deliveries the diagram may then become:

9. Step 3
This step requires the greatest amount
of work and imagination because it
requires you (or you and your team) to
write in all the detailed possible
causes in each of the broad areas of
enquiry. Each cause identified should
be fully explored for further more
specific causes which, in turn,
contribute to them.

12. 3 ROOT CAUSES FOR POOR
PLACEMENTS OF
STUDENTS

13. 1. STUDENT’S PERFORMANCE
 Students are not focussed and do not
pay attention towards their studies
due to which they get less grades.
 Some students, just because that they
could not get the minimum
percentage, are not allowed to sit for
recruitment process.
 They themselves are not keen in
getting recruited to the companies.

14. SOLUTIONS
RECOMMENDED
 Students should concentrate towards
their studies and be attentive.
 Career counselling should be given to
students to motivate them.
 They should be inspired to achieve
something in their life.

15. QUALITY EDUCATION
 The quality of education imparted is
not good.
 No emphasis on practical education.
 No improvisation in syllabus.

16. SOLUTIONS
RECOMMENDED
The education system should be
improved.
New approaches and methods
should be adopted to impart
education.
They should be taught what the
companies demand.

17. COLLEGE
REPUTATION
The college reputation even
matters for the companies visit.
College collaboration with the
companies.

18. SOLUTIONS
RECOMMENDED
 The college should hold some workshops
through which the name of college can be
highlighted.
 The college should hold some inter-
college competitions for fame and
popularity.
 The college should collaborate with some
companies for students benefit and
should invite them for the placements.

19. LESSONS LEARNT BY
US
 We learnt about the purpose of cause and
effect diagram.
 The utility and purpose of the diagram.
 Through the CE diagram we were able to
state the problems of the poor placements .
 It helped us a lot in analysing the root
problems for the poor placements.
