Ishikawa Diagrams and Continuous Improvement for Decision Making with Limited Data

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN In continuous improvement (CI) projects, cause-and-effect (CE) diagrams are used to qualitatively express the relationship between a given problem and its root causes. However, when data collection activities are limited, and advanced statistical analyses are not possible, practitioners need to understand causal relationships. In this webinar, a framework that combines cause-and-effect diagrams with Bayesian Belief Networks (BBNs) to estimate causal relationships in instances where formal data collection/analysis activities are too costly or impractical is presented. This framework enables continuous improvement practitioners to leverage qualitative data and expertise to conduct in-depth statistical analysis in the event that data collection activities cannot be fully executed. Furthermore, this allows continuous improvement practitioners to identify critical root causes of a given problem under investigation before generating solutions.
