[Psidev-qc-dev] Ishikawa diagram

[David T. <dav...@pa...>]

Hi, all.

I thought you might enjoy this image of a fishbone diagram from Kaoru Ishikawa's _Guide to Quality Control_ (1976 English language edition).  This was the most complex of the diagrams offered (from a brainstorming session) for this paragraph:

"Cooking rice is very similar to a production process in a factory.  The rice (raw material) is washed (pretreatment); then, in a pot (equipment) it is heated and steamed (second treatment).  Make a cause-and-effect diagram showing the steps necessary to cook good tasting rice."

Thanks,
Dave
