  • Guidance Notes: Ishikawa Diagrams
    Guidance Notes: Ishikawa Diagrams Introduction Ishikawa diagrams (also called fishbone diagrams or cause-and-effect diagrams ) are diagrams that show the causes of a certain event or problem. A common use of the Ishikawa diagram is in product design, to identify potential factors causing an overall effect and to help identify the root cause of non-conformances. Ishikawa diagrams were proposed by Kaoru Ishikawa in the 1960s, who pioneered quality management processes in the Kawasaki shipyards, and in the process became one of the founding fathers of modern management. It was first used in the 1960s, and is considered one of the seven basic tools of quality management, along with the histogram, Pareto chart, check sheet, control chart, flowchart, and scatter diagram. See Quality Management Glossary. It is known as a fishbone diagram because of its shape, similar to the side view of a fish skeleton. Causes Causes in the diagram are often based on a certain set of causes, such as the 6 M's, described below. Cause-and-effect diagrams can reveal key relationships among various variables, and the possible causes provide additional insight into process behavior. Causes in a typical diagram are normally grouped into categories, the main ones of which are: • The 6 Ms: Men/people, machines, methods, materials, measures, mother nature • 4 Ps – Places, Procedures, People, Politics • 4 Ss – Surroundings, Suppliers, Systems, Skills Causes should be derived from brainstorming sessions. Then causes should be sorted through affinity-grouping to collect similar ideas together. These groups should then be labeled as categories of the fishbone. They will typically be one of the traditional categories mentioned above but may be something unique to our application of this tool.

  • The Application of Fishbone Diagram Analisis to Improve School Quality
    The Application of Fishbone Diagram DINAMIKA ILMU Vol. 16 No. 1, 2016 P-ISSN: 1411-3031; E-ISSN: 2442-9651 The Application of Fishbone Diagram Analisis to Improve School Quality Slameto Satya Wacana Christian University, Salatiga [email protected] +6281325107010 Abstract With the enactment of the National Education Standards (NES), the measurement of the school quality was clear; NES became a reference for school development program to improve the school quality. However, the form of the program that exist still in problematic, so that a good proposal need to be prepared. In the real condition, the school shows, although they already have prepared school improvement program, but it has not been based on scientific studies and yet profound; many principals have constraints, because of the low quality of the program implementation. Thus the assistance for the school is needed in order to develop a school improvement program based on a model that proved effective and efficient. The research problems are: 1) What steps are to take in a program development aimed at improving the quality of school using a fishbone analysis? 2) Is the program model using fishbone analysis effective and efficient in meeting the school’s needs to improve its quality? This is research and developmental which comprises 3 phases, namely Preliminary Study, Model Development, and Evaluation/Model Testing. The qualitative data come from the input of management experts and the result of interviews/FGD with stakeholders. The quantitative data are obtained from the assessment of management experts on the product draft, the observation sheets for the field study on the standards of education, and the try out.

The majority of companies start to implement Six Sigma using the DMAIC methodology. The paper deals with application of Six Sigma using the DMAIC methodology in the process of product quality control. The case study is oriented on the field of metallurgical operations. The goal of the Six Sigma project was to ensure the required metallurgic product quality and to avoid an increase in internal costs associated with poor product quality. In this case study, a variety of tools and techniques like flow chart, histogram, Pareto diagram, analysis of FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) data, cause and effect diagram, logical analysis was used. The Sigma level has improved by approximately 13%. The achieved improvements have helped to reduce the quantity of defective products and the processing costs (technology for re-adjusting). Benefits resulting from the DMAIC implementation can be divided into three levels: the qualitative, economic and safety level. Keywords: DMAIC methodology; Six Sigma; product quality control; root cause; quality improvement As competition grows stronger, the providing of quality cases, some authors argue that the main benefits that an products and services has become a competitive advantage organisation can gain from applying Six Sigma are: cost and a need to ensure survival in this era of globalisation reduction, cycle time improvements, defect elimination, (Jirasukprasert et al., 2014).
