Glossary: Herringbone Diagram

What is a herringbone diagram?

The fishbone diagram is also known as a cause-and-effect diagram or Ishikawa diagram. It visually represents a problem-solving process in which the primary causes of a problem are identified. The resulting diagram is one of the so-called “Seven Quality Tools.”

All causes of the problem should be identified and their dependencies shown. A tree structure (Fault Tree Analysis) or table structure ( Cause and Effect Matrix) is often used as a presentation method.
