What do you mean by “ Cause & Effect”?
CAUSE
Events/conditions
that led to
the problem
A PROBLEM WHICH
HAS OCCURED
EFFECT
Symptoms that
provide evidence
of the problem
A POTENTIAL
FUTURE PROBLEM
EFFECT
Symptoms that
would result
from the problem
CAUSE

Cause and Effect Analysis
What is a Fishbone Diagram?
A visual tool used to identify, explore and
graphically display all the possible causes related
to a problem to discover root causes.
A Fishbone diagram is also known as a Cause
and Effect Diagram or Ishikawa Diagram.

Cause and Effect Analysis
Dr Kaoru Ishikawa
 Quality control statistician
 Professor in University of Tokyo
 One of the pioneers of Japan’s quality
revolution in the 1940s
 Played major role in growth of QC
circles
 Best known for formalizing use of
Cause-and-Effect Diagram
 Won the Deming Prize and Shewhart
Medal
 ASQ established the Ishikawa Medal to
recognize the human side of quality
8
Cause and Effect Analysis
Why Use Fishbone Diagrams?
 To discover the most probable causes to a
problem (or effect)
– Sometimes, the effect can be a desirable effect.
– When something desirable has happened, it is
useful to find out what caused it so that you can
make it happen again
 To visual possible relationships between causes
for a given problem under investigation
9
Cause and Effect Analysis
Constructing a Fishbone Diagram
1. Establish what the problem (effect) is
 It must be stated in clear and concise terms,
agreed by everyone.
2. Write the effect on the head of the fish
3. Decide the major categories of causes
 Brainstorming
 Use standard categories such as 5M+E
(Machines, Materials, Methods, Manpower,
Measurement & Environment)
 Use major steps in the process if the effect is
resulted from a recognizable process
• See example????
Let’s create a Fishbone Diagram using Minitab

4. Identify possible causes through Brainstorming
• Identify specific causes within each major category that
may be affecting the problem.

3. Continue
asking: ‘Why is
this happening?’
until you no
longer get useful
information.
Machine feedrate
Machine rpm
Brand of bit
Size of bit
2. Repeat this
procedure with each
specific cause to
produce sub-causes.
1. The team should ask :
‘What are the machine
issues affecting/causing
the problem?’
Precision
Accuracy
Calibration Method
Calibration Interval
When do we know we have reached the root cause ?
13
Cause and Effect Analysis
Analyzing a Fishbone Diagram
5. When brainstorming session is completed, every
cause should be labeled as either a “C”, “N” or “X”.
C variables that must be held as constant as possible
and require standard operating procedures to insure
consistency
N variables that are noise or uncontrolled variables and
cannot be cheaply/easily held constant
X variables considered to be KPIVs and need to be
experimented to determine what influence each has
on the output and what their optimal settings should
be to achieve customer-desired performance
14
Cause and Effect Analysis
Analyzing a Fishbone Diagram
6. The team should analyze and zoom in those
“most likely causes”.
Helpful Hint
Look out for causes that appear in more than one
category. They may be the “most likely causes”.
7. The most likely causes should be prioritized
for further investigation.

he shall analyse the subgroup data, the histogram and the prevailing Cpk value,
based on these he shall decide the action to take. When the situation necessitates,
a "PCAR" shall be issued to the Production E.A/Supervisor.
5.4.2.6 The Production Supervisor/E.A shall analyze the problem and take corrective
actions on the process concerned, after which, new samples shall be submitted
for measurement. When the problem has been rectified, Production Supervisor/EA
shall write in the "PCAR" form, the corrective actions taken and return the form to

Cause and Effect Analysis
Description: Cause and Effects Matrix
 Simple QFD (Quality Function Deployment) matrix.
 Used to relate and prioritize X’s to customer Y’s through
numerical ranking using the process map as the
primary source.
 Y’s are scored as importance to the customer
 X’s are scored as to relationship to outputs
 This is the team’s first stab at determining Y = f(X)
Results
 Pareto of Key Inputs to evaluate in the FMEA and Control Plans
 Input into the Capability Study
 Input into the initial evaluation of the Process Control Plan

 You are ready to correlate customer
requirements to the process input variables
 Avoid confusion and inconsistency by
establishing scoring criteria:
0 = no correlation
1 = the process effect only remotely affects the
customer requirement
4 = The input variable has a moderate effect on
the customer requirement
9 = The input variable has a direct and strong
effect on the customer requirements

Why Use Brainstorming?
• A tool for the Team (not individual)
• A method to generate a lot of ideas
• Two persons’ knowledge and ideas are
always more than an individual’s
• Input for other C&E tools
• Active participation

Cause and Effect Analysis
How do we know when we have reached
ROOT CAUSE ?
Root Cause is the lowest cause in a chain of cause and
effect at which we have some capability to cause the
break
 It’s within our capability to unilaterally control, or to influence,
changes to the cause
Root Cause
Base castings leak at mounting screw hole
Suppliers leak test may not detect porosity leak
Products are failing for contamination
Suppliers have different leak test processes
No standard process for supplier leak test

Cause and Effect Analysis
Span of Control / Sphere of Influence
SPHERE OF INFLUENCE
(Influence or persuasion only)
SPAN OF CONTROL
(Full authority)
OUTSIDE, UNCONTROLLED
ENVIRONMENT
Before we begin, we must establish the context in which the
Cause-Effect will be used.
Span of Control - areas where we
have a high degree of control over
parts or functions, virtually complete
authority to change anything
Sphere of Influence - areas where
we can influence things to varying
degrees but don’t have direct control.
Outside Environment - where we
have neither control nor influence
38
Cause and Effect Analysis
Points to Note for Fishbone Diagram
 Treat the cause-and-effect diagram as a living
document
 As new variables are discovered, update the
cause-and-effect diagram
 After your experimental investigations, when
you have optimized the “X” factors, and
implemented control, update them to “C”.
 Therefore, ideally, when the fishbone diagram
has more “C”s, the better we can control the
effect and improve its performance measure.

  • 6. 6 Cause and Effect Analysis What is a Fishbone Diagram? A visual tool used to identify, explore and graphically display all the possible causes related to a problem to discover root causes. A Fishbone diagram is also known as a Cause and Effect Diagram or Ishikawa Diagram. Methods Materials Machinery Manpower Problem/ Desired Improvement C/N/X C C C N N N N N C C
  • 7. 7 Cause and Effect Analysis Dr Kaoru Ishikawa  Quality control statistician  Professor in University of Tokyo  One of the pioneers of Japan’s quality revolution in the 1940s  Played major role in growth of QC circles  Best known for formalizing use of Cause-and-Effect Diagram  Won the Deming Prize and Shewhart Medal  ASQ established the Ishikawa Medal to recognize the human side of quality
  • 8. 8 Cause and Effect Analysis Why Use Fishbone Diagrams?  To discover the most probable causes to a problem (or effect) – Sometimes, the effect can be a desirable effect. – When something desirable has happened, it is useful to find out what caused it so that you can make it happen again  To visual possible relationships between causes for a given problem under investigation
  • 9. 9 Cause and Effect Analysis Constructing a Fishbone Diagram 1. Establish what the problem (effect) is  It must be stated in clear and concise terms, agreed by everyone. 2. Write the effect on the head of the fish 3. Decide the major categories of causes  Brainstorming  Use standard categories such as 5M+E (Machines, Materials, Methods, Manpower, Measurement & Environment)  Use major steps in the process if the effect is resulted from a recognizable process • See example???? Let’s create a Fishbone Diagram using Minitab

  • 12. 12 Cause and Effect Analysis Constructing a Fishbone Diagram 4. Identify possible causes through Brainstorming • Identify specific causes within each major category that may be affecting the problem. Surface Flaws Condensation Moisture% Inspectors Microscopes Micrometers Brake Engager Angle Suppliers Lubricants Alloys Speed Lathes Bits Sockets Operators Training Supervisors Shifts Personnel Machines Materials Methods Measurements Environment Fishbone Diagram for Surface Flaws 3. Continue asking: ‘Why is this happening?’ until you no longer get useful information. Machine feedrate Machine rpm Brand of bit Size of bit 2. Repeat this procedure with each specific cause to produce sub-causes. 1. The team should ask : ‘What are the machine issues affecting/causing the problem?’ Precision Accuracy Calibration Method Calibration Interval When do we know we have reached the root cause ?
  • 13. 13 Cause and Effect Analysis Analyzing a Fishbone Diagram 5. When brainstorming session is completed, every cause should be labeled as either a “C”, “N” or “X”. C variables that must be held as constant as possible and require standard operating procedures to insure consistency N variables that are noise or uncontrolled variables and cannot be cheaply/easily held constant X variables considered to be KPIVs and need to be experimented to determine what influence each has on the output and what their optimal settings should be to achieve customer-desired performance
  • 14. 14 Cause and Effect Analysis Analyzing a Fishbone Diagram 6. The team should analyze and zoom in those “most likely causes”. Helpful Hint Look out for causes that appear in more than one category. They may be the “most likely causes”. 7. The most likely causes should be prioritized for further investigation.

  • 37. 37 Cause and Effect Analysis Span of Control / Sphere of Influence SPHERE OF INFLUENCE (Influence or persuasion only) SPAN OF CONTROL (Full authority) OUTSIDE, UNCONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT Before we begin, we must establish the context in which the Cause-Effect will be used. Span of Control - areas where we have a high degree of control over parts or functions, virtually complete authority to change anything Sphere of Influence - areas where we can influence things to varying degrees but don’t have direct control. Outside Environment - where we have neither control nor influence
  • 38. 38 Cause and Effect Analysis Points to Note for Fishbone Diagram  Treat the cause-and-effect diagram as a living document  As new variables are discovered, update the cause-and-effect diagram  After your experimental investigations, when you have optimized the “X” factors, and implemented control, update them to “C”.  Therefore, ideally, when the fishbone diagram has more “C”s, the better we can control the effect and improve its performance measure.
