Create a Cause and Effect Diagram

Use Cause and Effect diagrams for documenting the source of errors in a process. Choose a Transactional, Manufacturing, or generic Cause and Effect diagram template that populates the diagram with a basic fishbone configuration of causes and effects.

In the Cause and Effect window, double-click cause text to edit it, or right-click to add or delete a cause. You can also print or export a Cause and Effect diagram when you right-click in the Cause and Effect window.

You can add a Pareto chart from the Cause and Effect menu. The Pareto chart responds dynamically to changes made in the Cause and Effect diagram or Cause and Effect window.
