History
The Ishikawa diagram was invented by Kaoru Ishikawa (1915-1989), a Japanese professor and chemical engineer at the University of Tokyo. A renowned expert and pioneer in the field of quality management theories, he used this diagram for the first time in 1943 to try to explain to a group of engineers in a steel company how to understand a problem based on an overall analysis – as exhaustive as possible – of complex factors.
Definition of the model
The Ishikawa diagram is a graphic tool used by businesses which offers an overview of the causes and effects of a problem. By ranking the causes, the sources of the problem can be accurately identified.
Theory
Although the Ishikawa diagram is mainly used in business as a quality or project management tool, it also lends itself particularly well to risk management. Indeed, the diagram not only allows problems to be solved, but also anticipated. For example, when a business wants to put a project in place, it examines the aspects that could come into consideration if the project fails. By assessing the various elements that could cause the project to fail, the company knows exactly where to focus its attention to prevent the problem from actually materialising.
