I am also vegetarian, and believe me I love Fish Bone diagram...!
Fish bone diagram really helps to do analysis with very neat and comprehensible way. It is mostly used as a tool in the Six Sigma
quality control concept for discovering all the possible causes of a problem – especially the root cause.
As per my understanding for reaching to the root cause of any problem ask only three "why?" questions. For example if your son got late for the school... ask him why he got late for the school? His answer might be as he missed his school bus... then ask him why he missed his school bus, and went with alternative? His answer might be because he got up late in morning.... then ask third why as why he get up late this morning?
His answer might be because he was playing video game till late night.. so here is root cause. So he needs to sleep on time...
Just trying to put five key benefits of fish-bone diagram...
1. Displays relationships clearly and logically
The fishbone diagram captures the links and relationships among the potential causes and results displayed in the diagram.
Categorized logically, the correlation can be understood at a glance.
2. Shows all causes simultaneously
Any cause or causal chain featured on the fishbone diagram could lead to the problem. The fishbone diagram illustrates each and every possible reason in a single diagram, which is beneficial for in-depth analysis. This makes it a useful tool for presenting the problem and solutions to stakeholders.
3. Involves Team in brainstorming
Edraw fishbone diagram is a great way to boost and structure brainstorming about the reasons for a certain result because it captures all the causes.
4. Input for problem solving
Seeing the reasons in visual graph and exploring the root cause may stimulate your team to find out possible solutions to the problems.
5. Maintains team focus
The fishbone framework can keep your team focused as you discuss what should be done to solve the problem or achieve a common goal.
It helps to analyze every involved party. And it ensures that nobody is wasting energy chasing nonexistent problems.
So enjoy fish bone...
