Fishbone Diagrams and SPC for Excel
Click here to view a video on how fishbone (cause and effect diagrams) are made using SPC for Excel
Our software, SPC for Excel, makes it easy to construct a cause and effect diagram using Excel. A blank cause and effect diagram is inserted into your workbook when you select the fishbone icon from the SPC toolbar. The diagram has the major cause categories: machines, measurement, methods, materials, people and environment. These can be changed.
There is an Add Item button that allows you to add a new item to the diagram and then simply drag the item under the major cause where it belongs. For Excel 2007 users, there is an Add Sub-Item button that allows you put causes at a diagonal under the items.
For more information on cause and effect diagrams, please see our October 2005 and November 2005 newsletters on our website.
We also offer a cause and effect training module in PowerPoint that is easily customizable.
