Kaoru Ishikawa was a very influential man in quality management. Ishikawa began his career as a professor at a Japanese University. He lived from 1915 until his death in 1989. Although Ishikawa made many contributions to quality management, he is best known for his cause and effect diagram, known as the “fishbone diagram”. ("Kaoru Ishikawa: the," 2009) The significance of the fishbone diagram is that it is a simple graphical method for presenting a chain of causes and effects and for sorting
Alternatively, the diagram is also known as fishbone drawing or the cause and effect illustration. Individual participants filled their Ishikawa diagrams which were later evaluated to establish the most voted cause of the problem. Four main causes of the frequent delays were identified through the application of the Ishikawa diagram. Inefficient communication, surplus supplies, complex purchasing procedures, and supplier related issues were attributed to the constant delay of deliveries
Root Cause Analysis of the Causes of Wastage Fishbone Diagram (Cause-and-Effect Diagram) A fishbone diagram, also commonly known as cause and effect diagram or Ishikawa diagram, is a graphical tool to identify the potential causes of a specific event. It was invented by Kaoru Ishikawa in the 1960s for the quality management processes in the Kawasaki shipyards. The causes are grouped into major categories (usually include People, Method, Material, Machine, Measurement and Environment) to identify
The storyline for many fairy-tales follow the same structure, there is a damsel in distress and a hero is there for the rescue. This simple concept is complexed within many classic novels. Cat’s Eye by Margaret Atwood shows how overcoming traumatic experiences may transform individuals from their state of despair into a peaceful mindset. On the other hand, Arthur Goldman’s Memoirs of a Geisha focuses on a girl who struggles to navigate through the constant obstacles of life. These two novels demonstrate
Fear of failure, I know this phrase very well. It allows the fear to stop me doing the things that can move me towards achieving my goals. When I look back at my fears, I grasp the moment that I have been so afraid of failing that I decided against it and I lost some great once in a lifetime opportunities. Fear of failure subconsciously; hint at, I weakened my own efforts to escape the risk of a higher failure. Many of us have possibly faced this at one time in our lifetime. The fear of failing can

The Fishbone Diagram (also called a Cause & Effect Diagram, or Ishikawa Diagram) is considered one of the 7 basic quality tools, and is often used as part of Lean-Kaizen workshops. A fishbone diagram that helps the assessing of the current state whilst assisting in getting to the root cause of a problem. This will help employees to identify solutions once a root cause is known. Fishbone diagram is also a good way to break a problem down in a structured way. “For every effect there is a root cause

PAY INCENTIVES. According to Taylor, “What the workmen want from their employers beyond anything else is high wages.” This “economic man” assumption led Taylor to believe that piece rates were important to improved productivity . Under traditional piece-rate plans, an individual received a fixed amount of money for each unit of output. Thus, the greater the output, the greater the pay. In his determination to find a better way, Taylor attempted to improve the traditional piece-rate scheme with his
consists of; all members of an organization are contributors to the improvement processes, products, services, and how they interact. TQM methods were taught by well-respected leaders such as Philip B. Crosby, W. Edwards Deming, Armand V. Feigenbaum, Kaoru Ishikawa, and Joseph M. Juran. The methods of total quality management attacks the systems and procedures not people. For instance, if an employee shows lack of interest, it’s usually a failure in the process or the procedure not on the employee. When

This commentary returns to the writings of the movement's founders--W. Edwards Deming, Joseph Juran, and Kaoru Ishikawa--to assess the coherence, distinctiveness, and likely perseverance of this provocative management philosophy. We identify a number of gaps in what is known about TQM processes and outcomes and explore the congruence between TQM practices and behavioral

Decision-Making Process: Improving Our Ability to Make Decision Facing a situation, you have to decide. For example, the fire surrounds you: What do you do? Jump through the windows and risk to kill yourself or to wait the firemen and risk to be burned to death if they come to late? Every decision that we make or don’t make shapes our future. Everyone tries to make good decisions. However, it is easy to overlook an important factor, miss a desirable option, or base the decision on unreliable
1. Introduction There are the words “BL(short form of Boys’ Love)”, “Yaoi” and “Hujyoshi(means Rotten girls in Japanese).” Each of them became famous rapidly. But those kinds of works including comics, CDs, novels, animes, and games, often have really sexual scenes and are provoking discussion. So I would like to research how this boom started and why are they so attracting for women. Also I am going to think about the international reaction about these. 2. Definition of the terms BL is a name
