Quality Mind Map

Fishbone Diagram

The use of specific types of visual diagrams is effective way to problems solving and decisions making. Fishbone diagram is a graphical tool used for visual and systematical analyzing the relationships between the solved problem and causes affecting its occurrence. It has hierarchical structure and that's why is well-suited for capturing in a mind map for a process of reviewing what branch is a real root cause of a given issue. ConceptDraw Office products and PM solutions offered by ConceptDraw STORE give the powerful help in questions of planning and project management. ConceptDraw PRO and ConceptDraw MINDMAP applications perfectly suit for designing professional-looking Fishbone Diagrams and allow effectively identify the root causes of quality issues using the Fishbone diagrams. The PM Response solution from the Project Management area of ConceptDraw Solution Park is powerful for improvement the response time to project changes, helps with iteration planning, with solving project challenges and discussing project layout approaches.

Root Cause Tree Diagram

Root Cause Tree Diagram is one of the best tools to outline the problems and their causes, to analyze them and to formulate the possible corrective actions. Root Cause Tree Diagrams are successfully used in management, marketing, quality control and depth analysis, and are based on the principle that solution of any problem is concentrated at the root. Root Cause Tree Diagram contains the main problem on the top, from the top depart two branches of causes, which then diverge on additional causes, thus is constructed the hierarchy of root causes. So, the step by step defining of causes lets to detect the main reasons of a given effect and to make the correct arrangements to solve a problem. The ConceptDraw MINDMAP and ConceptDraw PRO products included to ConceptDraw Office suite, with help of Business Productivity solutions from the ConceptDraw Solution Park are effective in questions of problem solving, defining root causes of various problems, root causes analysis and designing the Root Cause Tree Diagrams.

Quality Management Teams

ConceptDraw MINDMAP with Quality mindmaps solution as a demonstration of the creative approach to quality management in daily work of quality management team.

A Creative Look at Quality Procedures

Get a creative look at a quality procedures with mindmaping software ConceptDraw MINDMAP. Mind maps can be of great value in depicting and describing a problem in detail, then structure it, and find the right decision.

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? ConceptDraw MINDMAP will effectively help you in drawing MINDMAP Root Cause Tree Diagram and Root Cause Analysis Tree Diagram used for further formulation of actions. The Root Cause Tree Diagram template, which can be opened at the program from the Input tab, supplies you with a basic mind map structure for your diagram. The central idea describes briefly a problem, the main topics represent the high-level causes of a problem, their subtopics give more details about the different parts of given causes. At the last level of tree are described the potential solutions to each of detailed parts of the causes.

Successful Quality Management

Successful quality management implemented in a company of any size is a critical component of a company’s organization. You can use mind maps for a complete quality process analysis, giving more visibility to the focal points that you need to get clear.

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.

Affinity Diagram

The Affinity Diagram, also known as a KJ diagram, is a business tool invented for organization the large quantity of ideas and data. It is a part of Seven Management and Planning Tools, it is usually used right after brainstorming to sort large numbers of ideas into the corresponding groups. The Affinity Diagram helps to represent in a better way the structure of large and complex factors which influence on a problem, divides these factors into the smaller and simpler structures, and helps team members to see the patterns and identify possible solutions to problems they have. The diagrams of this type don't show the causal relationships between the factors, but they are designed to prepare the data for holding further analysis of the cause-effect relationships. Another area of Affinity Diagram usage is contextual inquiry as a way to sort observations and notes from field interviews, support call logs, open-ended survey responses organizing, etc. ConceptDraw MINDMAP software offers you the tools for easy holding brainstorming, generation ideas and creation MINDMAP Affinity Diagram.

Quality Control

Using mind mapping for quality management is a creative approach that allows one to structure all key quality points on the one page.
