At the October meeting, the discussion topic was Ishikawa (Fishbone) Diagrams, a type of cause and effect diagram. Common areas of focus include:
- Human Factors or People
- Methods or Processes
- Environment
- Measurement
- Materials
- Machines/Tools and Maintenance
Discussion included how leadership, policy, and biases play a role as causes. Have you ever used an Ishikawa Diagram to prevent a problem rather than react to a problem?
