Overview of the webinar

Fishbone Diagram (FBD) is one of the seven Quality Control Tools which is used to analyze a problem by identifying possible root causes. It is called a “Fishbone” because the finished diagram looks like the skeleton of a fish. The FBD is also called a Cause-and-Effect Diagram or Ishikawa diagram. During the 1960’s the tool was created by Dr. Kaoru Ishikawa, a pioneer in quality management.
