Limitations of the Fishbone Diagram:• Based on opinion• Lost energy spent on “potential” causes• Comes down to a democratic vote

PROCESS MAPPING FOR CONTINUOUSQUALITY IMPROVEMENT
• Simple method• Highlights wasteful steps in
your process• Maps out the actual
processes• Not processes in procedures
and manuals
