The quality control tool is ideal to visually represent the output from brainstorming sessions where root causes are identified by analysis teams. Sub-causes are shown as the ribs of the fish. The diagram itself takes the shape of a fishbone where the defect is represented as the head of the fish and the bones represent the major identified root causes. The technique is widely applied to prevent quality defects. By grouping those factors, Ishikawa diagrams allow classifying multiple sources of variation into categories and help to narrow down a problem’s root cause. The diagrams are used to identify causal factors as sources of variation. The tool is also famous as the Ishikawa diagram by the name of its creator Kaoru Ishikawa. The fishbone diagram, also known as the cause-and-effect diagram, is a causal graphic representation of potential causes of a given problem or defect.
