	Ishikawa Diagram
		Quality management: Ishikawa or Fishbone diagrams as a means to get the facts straight on the web-site for teachers and learners of English as a secondary language from a German point of view providing teaching and learning strategies as well as Total Quality Management and assessments in schools and seminars.
		The basic concept in the fishbone diagram is that the name of a basic problem is entered at the right of the diagram at the end of the main 'bone.' This is the problem of interest.
		A typical utilization is the drawing of a fishbone diagram on a flboard by a team leader who first asserts the main problem and asks for assistance from the group to determine the main causes which are subsequently drawn on the board as the main bones of the diagram.

		An Ishikawa diagram is typically the result of a brainstorming session in which members of a group offer ideas on how to improve a product, process, or service.
		The main goal is represented by the trunk of the diagram, and primary factors are represented as branches.

	ASQ: About: Kaoru Ishikawa
		The cause-and-effect diagram—often called the Ishikawa diagram and perhaps the achievement for which he is best known—has provided a powerful tool that can easily be used by non-specialists to analyze and solve problems.
		Ishikawa's reasoning was that the Chinese alphabet, one of the most difficult writing systems in the world, can be mastered only after a great deal of study; thus, hard work and the desire for education became part of the character of those nations.
		In his Shewhart Medal acceptance speech, Ishikawa called standardization and quality control "two wheels of the same cart." His emphasis might be surprising to some who think of standards as rigid and unchanging, but Ishikawa stressed the need for standards to change, and the dangers of clumsy enforcement of standards.

	The Cause and Effect, Ishikawa, or Fishbone Diagram: Systematically find root causes of problems.
		The cause and effect diagram is the brainchild of Kaoru Ishikawa, who pioneered quality management processes in the Kawasaki shipyards, and in the process became one of the founding fathers of modern management.
		The cause and effect diagram is used to explore all the potential or real causes (or inputs) that result in a single effect (or output).
		The CandE diagram is also known as the fishbone diagram because it was drawn to resemble the skeleton of a fish, with the main causal categories drawn as "bones" attached to the spine of the fish, as shown below.

	Kaoru Ishikawa
		Ishikawa sees the Cause-and-Effect Diagram (or Ishikawa Diagram), like other tools, as a device to assist groups or quality circles in quality improvement.
		Ishikawa diagrams are useful as systematic tools for finding, sorting out and documenting the causes of variation of quality in production and organising mutual relationships between them.
		Ishikawa sees the CWQC as implying that quality does not only mean the quality of product, but also of after sales service, quality of management, the company itself and the human life.

		One such tool in the realm of root cause analysis is Dr. Ishikawa's Fishbone diagram, also known as the Cause and Effect Diagram (Diagrama de Causa y Efecto), as well as the eponymous Ishikawa Diagram (Diagrama de Ishikawa).
