A cause and effect diagram, is also referred to as an Ishikawa or “fishbone” diagram. The

main use for this type of tool is to pinpoint and come up with causes of an effect which could be

various.( Cause & Effect,n/d). This type of diagram can be used to display the causes of the

problem or issues that come up within each step of the process. Some benefits related to utilizing

The cause and effect diagram can help identify Boeing’s waste handling problem:

• People

3. Identifying causes of factors:

• Material: broken blades

• Equipment: Blades not being maintained on a timely manner and PM’s not being performed on equipment on a timely manner.

• People-Maintenance crew waiting too long on performing PM.

4. Analyzing the diagram- In this step all possible causes are reviewed and analyzed.

Further investigation or drilling down is conducted at this step to identify in further detail

the main causes or contributions to the problem. In this case one or several employees

responsible for the maintenance could be the main problem due to not following up on

the equipment and setting up a schedule for the PM”s to be done on a timely manner to

avoid stress and downtime due to equipment not being routinely checked.
