Ishikawa Diagram For Mac

Ishikawa diagrams are simple yet very effective tools that can help you to effortlessly make sense out of the complicated and often obscure mechanisms behind a complex set of quality control rules.

Designed in the 1960s by Kaoru Ishikawa to help the Kawasaki company improve its shipyard quality control, the Ishikawa diagram is still a fundamental and essential tool for any quality control manager.

Because of its odd shape, the Ishikawa diagram is also known as a fish bone diagram. The resulting actually resembles a fish skeleton, with cause and effect pairs for each and every “skeleton rib”.

From Ishikawa Diagram’s lower right side panel, you can quickly choose the number of main causes you want to add to the graph, as well as the format you want to use for exporting the resulting diagram.

Moreover, you can also quickly print the diagram you’ve designed using the Ishikawa Diagram application with the help of the Mac OS X built-in print dialog.

As an added bonus, Ishikawa Diagram also comes with a Help feature that makes it very simple and quick to get a detailed explanation of what a Ishikawa diagram is and the principles you need to know before starting to create your own draft.

On the whole, Ishikawa Diagram provides its users with a simple and undemanding way of designing fish bone diagrams from scratch, without the need of prior knowledge or experience.
