Root Cause Analysis

The Seven Management and Planning Tools is a tool for Root Cause Analysis Tree Diagram drawing. This diagram is for Root Cause Analysis. Analyze the root causes for factors that influenced the problem. This diagram is constructed separately for each highly prioritized factor. The goal of this is to find the root causes for the factor and list possible corrective action.

Cause and Effect Fishbone Diagram

Cause and Effect Fishbone Diagram is one of the popular productivity and management tools widely used in business organizations. It is also known as Fishbone Diagram, because it looks like a fish skeleton. Cause and Effect Diagram provides a structured way which helps to identify all possible causes of a problem. Cause and Effect Diagram can be applied anywhere where exists a causal relationship. Now the problem of complexity the Cause and Effect Fishbone Diagram creating is solved thanks to the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with Fishbone Diagrams solution from the Management area.

Relations Diagram

The Relations Diagram is used to identify how the factors influence each other, to determine what factors are causes and what are effects. The factors mostly influencing are called “drivers”, the primarily affected factors are “indicators”. The problem solving is focused on the change of "drivers" factors by applying the corrective actions. The "indicators" factors help establish the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to monitor the changes and also define the effectiveness of the corrective actions in resolving a problem. ConceptDraw MINDMAP software ideally suits for designing Relations Diagrams. The easiest way to create the MINDMAP Relations Diagram, is to use the included Relations Diagram input template. Open it in ConceptDraw MINDMAP application from the Input tab and hold a new brainstorming session, identify the central issue and the contributing factors to this issue. Click the Finish Brainstorm button to generate a Mind Map and begin the further work with it, or select Relations Diagram item from the Output tab to automatically draw it in ConceptDraw PRO application.

Stakeholder Management System

Stakeholder management is a critical component to the successful delivery of any project, programme or activity. ConceptDraw PRO is a powerful diagramming and vector drawing software. Now, thanks to the Stakeholder Onion Diagrams Solution included to the Management Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park, ConceptDraw PRO became also unique stakeholder management system design software.

Dealing with Difficult People

Every day we communicate with many people, but sometimes we meet the people with a complex character that do not go towards, in spite of all our efforts. There are about twelve types of people that are recognized as difficult. What we need to do when dealing with a difficult person? Anyway you must realize that you can not avoid the meeting with people, who consciously or unconsciously, will complicate your life. No matter where you are faced with a difficult person - at work, study, or in other occasions, it is needed try to find a compromise, you can use special approaches to dealing with difficult people. The key point in detecting the approach to difficult people is to realize that the person is difficult to communicate, to stay flexible and calm, retain neutrality, to apply to a specific person an individual approach, given its features, hidden needs and interests, and also your own priorities in this situation. Mind Map is a useful way to describe various approaches that you need to take when dealing with difficult people. Make it easy in ConceptDraw MINDMAP software.

Use a Fishbone Diagram to Attack Complex Problems

Any project is a complex system which rarely goes without some problems, even the most minor. But the success of the project mostly depends from the ability effectively solve appearing problems. There are many methods for problem solving, one of the most effective is the use a Fishbone diagram to attack complex problems. Use ConceptDraw PRO diagramming software with Fishbone Diagrams Solution to attack any complex problems with fishbone diagrams graphic method. Construct Fishbone diagram to help users brainstorm and break down a complex problem.

Fishbone Diagram Example

Fishbone Diagram, also referred as Cause and Effect diagram or Ishikawa diagram, is a fault finding and problem solving tool. Construction of Ishikawa diagrams is quite complicated process and has a number of features. Fishbone Diagrams solution included to ConceptDraw Solution Park contains powerful drawing tools and a lot of examples, samples and templates. Each Fishbone diagram example is carefully thought-out by experts and is perfect source of inspiration for you.

Create Fishbone Diagrams

Common uses of the Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagrams are product design and quality defect prevention. They are effectively used to identify potential factors causing an overall effect for making possibility to solve a problem. To create Fishbone Diagrams, Cause-and-Effect Diagrams, Ishikawa Diagrams, we recommend to use a ConceptDraw PRO software enhanced with Fishbone Diagrams solution from the Management area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
