Support for the nature of the cause-and-effect diagram.

We will provide support for the characteristics and factors diagram!

When creating a cause-and-effect diagram, the following steps are taken: (1) Determine the issue (characteristic) and create the backbone. (In production technology, identify the details of defects, etc.) (2) Create the major bones. (It is easier to understand if you categorize the major bones according to the 5M1E.) (3) Create the middle bones (list the contents that could be factors of the major bones). (4) Create the minor bones (list the contents that could be factors of the middle bones). The characteristic of the cause-and-effect diagram is to organize the factors into major bones, middle bones, and minor bones, and visualize them to make it easier to grasp the overall picture. The cause-and-effect diagram is used for cause investigation, issue organization, information sharing, and more. The 5M1E of the major bone section refers to: 1. Machine (Technology) 2. Method (Process) 3. Material (Includes information on raw materials and consumables.) 4. Manpower (Physical labor) / Mind power (Brain function) 5. Measurement (Inspection) 6. Environment If this cause-and-effect diagram can be applied to various issues in production technology operations, it will contribute to improving operational efficiency.
