Cause and Effect Analysis was originally developed as a quality control tool, you can use the technique  to:

Discover the root cause of a problem. Uncover bottlenecks in your processes. Identify where and why a process isn't

working.

Step 1: Identify the ProblemStep 1: Identify the Problem

First, write down the exact problem you face. Where appropriate, identify who is involved, what the problem is, and when and where it occurs.

Then, write the problem in a box on the left-hand side of a large sheet of paper, and draw a line across the paper horizontally from the box. This arrangement, looking like the head and spine of a fish, gives you space to develop ideas.

Step 2: Work Out the Major Factors InvolvedStep 2: Work Out the Major Factors Involved

Next, identify the factors that may be part of the problem. These may be systems, equipment, materials, external forces, people involved with the problem, and so on.

Try to draw out as many of these as possible. As a starting point, you can use models such as the McKinsey 7S Framework   (which offers you Strategy, Structure, Systems, Shared values, Skills, Style and Staff as factors that you can consider) or the4Ps of Marketing   (which offers Product, Place, Price, and Promotion as possible factors).

Step 3: Identify Possible CausesStep 3: Identify Possible Causes

Now, for each of the factors you considered in step 2, brainstorm possible causes of the problem that may be related to the factor.

Show these possible causes as shorter lines coming off the "bones" of the diagram. Where a cause is large or complex, then it may be best to break it down into sub-causes. Show these as lines coming off each cause line.

Step 4: Analyze Your DiagramStep 4: Analyze Your Diagram

By this stage you should have a diagram showing all of the possible causes of the problem that you can think of.

Depending on the complexity and importance of the problem, you can now investigate the most likely causes further. This may involve setting up investigations, carrying out surveys, and so on. These will be designed to test which of these possible causes is actually contributing to the problem.

KeyKey PointsPoints

Professor Kaoru Ishikawa created Cause & Effect Analysis in the 1960s. The technique uses a diagram-based approach for thinking through all of the possible causes of a problem. This helps you to carry out a thorough analysis of the situation.There are four steps to using Cause and Effect Analysis.

1.Identify the problem.2.Work out the major factors involved.3.Identify possible causes.4.Analyze your diagram

Try using Cause and Effect Analysis – you'll find that they are particularly useful when you're trying to solve complicated problems.

Not holding placements when students are in the college during non-training period

Students should pay attention to what they learn and should pay attention to its apllication.

Students should expand their horizons and think out of the box.

Students should focus on the practical knowledge and not just their marks.

College administration should take more interest in the placement drives.

Proper hospitality to the HR team present in the campus.

College administrartion should lure more companies for on-campus placements of their students.

The placement drives should be held on a more convenient time and not close to semester exams.

It should be held in the 8th semester as the students are already in college during that period and they don’t have to travel from far-off places just for their placements again and again.

The students eligbility happens to be more in 8th semester.

Companies with more vacancies, better financial status, management team and better projects should come.

This assignment helps us deduce1. Student’s enthusiasm for studies is utmost.2. College’s interest must lie with student’s

future’s welfare.3. Companies must recruit students only

when they are able to employ them instead of not sending call letters.
