It is also the best for designing Process Decision Program Charts and representing the PDPC method, which is effective way of detailed planning and depiction the whole sequence of actions on the path from the formulation a problem to its solution. The PDPC lets determine the risks when corrective actions are not performed correctly and helps develop descriptions for preventive actions.

Root Cause Tree Diagram

The Root Cause Tree Diagram is a chart that helps determine the root causes of factors that influence the problem, to represent and analyze them. This diagram is constructed separately for each high priority factor. First it is needed to identify the root causes for a factor, display their structure and then propose the possible corrective actions. But how to create Root Cause Tree Diagram with the least efforts and time?
