CAUSE EFFECT

DIAGRAM

Introduction…… A Cause-and-Effect Diagram is a tool that helps identify, sort, and display possible causes of a specific problem or quality characteristic . It graphically illustrates the relationship between a given outcome and all the factors that influence the outcome. This type of diagram is sometimes called an "Ishikawa diagram" because it was invented by Kaoru Ishikawa, or a "fishbone diagram" because of the way it looks.

Uses… • Helps determine root causes • Encourages group participation • Uses an orderly, easy-to-read format • Indicates possible causes of variation • Increases process knowledge • Identifies areas for collecting data

Making the diagram… . Step 1 - Identify and clearly define the outcome or EFFECT to be analyzed

Decide on the effect to be examined. Effects are stated as particular quality characteristics, problems resulting from work, planning objectives, and the like. Use Operational Definitions. Develop an Operational Definition of the effect to ensure that it is clearly understood. Remember, an effect may be positive (an objective) or negative (a problem), depending upon the issue that’s being discussed. > Using a positive effect which focuses on a desired outcome tends to fosterpride and ownership over productive areas. This may lead to an

upbeat atmosphere that encourages the participation of the group. When possible,it is preferable to phrase the effect in positive terms.

> Focusing on a negative effect can side-track the team into justifying why the problem occurred and placing blame. However, it is sometimes

easier for a team to focus on what causes a problem than what causes an excellent outcome. While you should be cautious about the fallout that can result from focusing on a negative effect, getting a team to concentrate on things that can go wrong may foster a more relaxed atmosphere and sometimes enhances group participation.

Step 2 - Using a chart pack positioned so that everyone can see it, draw the SPINE and create the EFFECT box. ! Draw a horizontal arrow pointing to the right. This is the spine. ! To the right of the arrow, write a brief description of the effect or outcome which results from the process. ! Draw a box around the description of the effect. Step 3 - Identify the main CAUSES contributing to the effect being studied. These are the labels for the major branches of your diagram and become categories under which to list the many causes related to those categories.! Establish the main causes, or categories, under which other possible causes will be listed. You should use category labels that make sense for the diagram you are creating. Here are some commonly used categories: > 3Ms and P - methods, materials, machinery, and people > 4Ps - policies, procedures, people, and plant > Environment - a potentially significant fifth category ! Write the main categories your team has selected to the left of the effect box, some above the spine and some below it. ! Draw a box around each category label and use a diagonal line to form a branch connecting the box to the spine. Step 4 - For each major branch, identify other specific factors which may be the CAUSES of the EFFECT identify as many causes or factors as possible and attach them as subbranches of the major branches. Fill in detail for each cause. If a minor cause applies to more than one major cause, list it under both.

Step 5 - Identify increasingly more detailed levels of causes and continue Organizing them under related causes or categories. You can do this by asking a series of why questions.

Step 6 - Analyse the diagram. Analysis helps you identify causes that warrant further investigation. Since Cause-and-Effect Diagrams identify only possible causes, you may want to use a Pareto Chart to help your team determine the cause to focus on first. Look at the “balance” of your diagram, checking for comparable levels of detail for most of the categories. > A thick cluster of items in one area may indicate a need for further study. > A main category having only a few specific causes may indicate a need for further identification of causes. > If several major branches have only a few subbranches, you may need to combine them under a single category. Look for causes that appear repeatedly. These may represent root causes. Look for what you can measure in each cause so you can quantify the effects of any changes you make. Most importantly, identify and circle the causes that you can take action

on.

POOR PLACEMENTS OF

STUDENTS

The lack of placements has now become a familiar truth. It is

not at all unknown that the concentration of students have

increased to a far greater extend, making the job opportunities

not only restricted but also limited. Flipping the pages of the

past, it is seen that about 30 good colleges have produced

30,000 quality students. It is expected that by 2020 there will be

17.2 million graduates while the employment in IT sector will be

as low as 22%.

ROOT CAUSES. 1. LACK OF KNOWLEDGE

The education system of our country that was framed

years back, is followed in the present as well with no

revision. With the evolution of technology, raising

standards, modernisation, people have transformed

themselves completely to walk hand in hand with the

upgrading generation. but our very own foundation, our

education, is traditional. The knowledge is restricted to

course books alone with no broad vision of welcoming

additional knowledge. The definition of learning is

strangely replaced by memorising. Enlightment of our self

is side-lined, and chase for good scores has become the

call.

2. Strength of students

Every year a large number of colleges and universities are

enrolled producing a good amount of both quality and non-

quality students. This mob is massive with not so many

recruiters or job opportunities, thus a large crowd remains

unemployed.

3. Non-technical courses

Even though there are a large number of technical

graduates, they still have a better face with their recruiters

available. But the other non-technical courses produce a

large number of unemployed graduates. They fail to paint

a better picture firstly because; technology is the

backbone of the country’s growth and hence will always

be preferred over. Secondly, they don’t have good number

of recruiters or job opportunities.

REMEDIES 1. Training and placement coordinates for proper

management and efficiency. Infect, it should all be

conducted by students.

2. Students should not restrict themselves to course books

alone. There must have thirst for knowledge. As it is

knowledge that will welfare them in the long run.

3. College should be willing to take in their hands this important

task of building the personal attributes of a student. Mock group

discussions, debates, speeches, etc. can be conducted on

regular basis. Participation in some activities should be made

mandatory.

4. Workshops and guest lectures should be organised at

minimal cost to make it available for students from all strata of

society.

LESSONS LEARNED BY TH E

TEAM :-

This topic was indeed very closely related to us on career

basis. The unlisted are the some of the few lessons we came

across:

1. There is pretty much colleges in India, truly 2 tiers and 3

tiers take the major stage. With very few colleges above

average and large number of colleges below average. In

spite of this the quality of education meted out to students

to premium colleges is excellent. Highly knowledge –

oriented workshops by experienced professionals are

conducted in top colleges of country. There is a wide gap

of disparity, and no noticeable efforts are made to either

bring them if not at par then at least nearby.

2. The entire process of placements requires the equal

contribution of the students, college and the recruiters.

Failure at any ones part result in the loss of all.

Hence, neither is responsible for poor placements.

3. Placements should be last concern on one’s mind. If one

is aware well of his goal, then he must work for it and

excel in its field. Knowledge and not the scores should be

chased for.
