Ishikawa-Diagramm
Cause-and-effect diagram: a problem at the head, possible causes along six categories – people, method, machine, material, measurement, environment.
Fishbone diagram
The fishbone helps collect causes systematically instead of stopping at the first one.
- head: the problem, described measurably if possible
- bones: the six classic categories – rename them when others fit better
- sticky notes for causes
Then mark the most likely causes and check them with data. Goes well with the incident postmortem.
