Ishikawa (Fishbone)

Use an Ishikawa (fishbone) diagram to group the possible causes of one problem, such as a root-cause review of late deliveries.

ishikawaishikawa-beta
Causes of late deliveries: understaffed shifts (people), manual routing (process), outdated tracking (tools) and missed pickups (suppliers).
The sample below, drawn with the gallery's default theme. Another theme, color scheme or variant redraws the same source in its fonts and colors.

First line

The first word of the source, ishikawa-beta, names the Mermaid family; the rest follows Mermaid's syntax for it.

Alt text

Causes of late deliveries: understaffed shifts (people), manual routing (process), outdated tracking (tools) and missed pickups (suppliers).

Markdown

A mermaid fence is a diagram; alt is its text alternative.
