Fishbone Diagram
The diagram of cause and effect, also known as Fishbone Diagram, is meant to identify, explore and project all possible causes of a problem. It is the organized method to represent the relation of the \"effect\" to all possibilities of \"cause,\" by dividing them into sets of causes.
By using a group of people or facts, you can raise all causes that bring about the effect being analyzed. Thus, each effect may have a great number of causes. Once causes are raised, action plans are grouped and created.
A detailed diagram of cause and effect will have the form of a fishbone; that is why it is also called fishbone diagram. From a list of possible causes, the most likely causes are identified and selected for an in-depth analysis.
