Cause and Effect Diagram
Used to:
•Identify, display and examine potential causes of any observed condition

Requires a structured approach

•It
is recommended that cause and effect diagrams should be created through
multiple brainstorming sessions

Scatter Plots
Method for the identification of relation (effect) between two factors (Causes)
Suitable for:
•Showing co-relation
•Display direction of relationship

Line Graphs

Suitable for:

•Tracking changes over time (when

changes are large)
•Comparing values in different
categories

Whenever you see a timescale on x-axis, Line graph is the safest option…

Histogram
A frequency distribution shows how often
each different value in a set of data occurs

Suitable for:

•Communicating the distribution of data

quickly and easily to others

Pareto Chart
Suitable for:
•Separating the vital few from the trivial many, answering what key inputs
effect the performance measures

Remember !!
Pareto charts should be constructed on both financial and frequency basis
