Ishikawa and Interrelationship Diagrams

I've been working on a page including information on some formal troubleshooting methods. En route, I have been looking at Cause-and-Effect (Ishikawa fishbone) diagrams and Interrelationship Diagrams.

Here are some of the noteworthy web pages I've been looking at:

Concordia: Cause and Effect Diagram and
Concordia Interrelationship Diagram provide a nice introduction to the two types of diagrams.

HCI Cause and Effect Diagram provides a slightly longer article, including some historical informaton about Ishikawa diagrams.

balancedscorecard.org Cause and Effect Diagram provides a much more in-depth view of Ishikawa diagrams.


questlearningskills.org Interrelationship Diagrams
provides a howto level article about Interrelationship diagrams.


ASQ Interrelationship Diagrams
provides a slightly longer article about Interrelationship Diagrams.


Root Cause Analysis: A Framework for Tool Selection
provides a nice comparison of Ishikawa and Interrelationship diagrams, as well as Current Reality diagrams.

I just checked all of the links in the post, and they all appear to be online now.

If one of them is retired from whichever external site hosts them, I'll edit the post to remove it. Just let me know which one.
