Ishikawa diagram

In the first session about root-cause analysis we have introduced the 5-Whys technique. It has its benefits, but also some severe disadvantages. As one of the most obvious ones the limitation on one root-cause can be highlighted.

In this episode the Ishikawa technique will be introduced. The Ishikawa-diagram could be assumed as the big brother of the small 5-Whys.

How this podcast is produced – MES010

P1000645_1280x1024How this podcast is produced

This is the vacation episode. Recorded on my way to the beach of Moliets-et-Maa.

Moliets-et-Maa is a small village in south-west of France. It’s situated close to the Atlantic sea. Roundabout 120 km south of Bordeaux and 50 kilometres north of Biarritz. It’s a surfer’s spot and offers a 9- and 18-hole golf course. We love it due to the great sea view, the wide beach and the lovely weather conditions.

It’s also my 10th episode and therefore time for a short celebration. Hoorray. Okay, that’s enough.
