The ideas generated can be organized on a fishbone diagram as follows:
-Recent changes in network/server vendor to save money
-Some workstations don't have updated anti-virus programs
-Network switch configuration
-Bandwidth congestion -Shortage of IT staff by 2 programmers
-Lack of software maintenance by the vendor
-Users lack training/skills to use the software properly
-Lack of data governance policies and procedures
-Lack of communication among IT staff
-Some hardware in unsafe locations
-Legacy computer system
-Lack of integrity control on data entry -Password sharing among users
-Dependence on technology -No plan B for power failures
Draw cause and effect fishbone diagram
A cause-and-effect diagram is one of the primary tools of SPC3 that we utilize to organize potential causes by the major process inputs such as people, policy, methods, and materials [7]. Other names of this diagram are Ishikawa (the name of an individual who first introduced it [5]), and fishbone (since the diagram looks like the skeleton of a fish) [5]. A basic algorithm for creating a cause-and-effect diagram follows.
Step 1: Draw a horizontal arrow from left to right and connect it to a box of the effect. This line will serve as the main branch.
Step 2: Draw boxes for the process key inputs and connect them to the main branch using right-slanted arrows. We refer to these secondary arrows as sub-branches
Step 3: Write down key process inputs in the boxes that you drew in Step 2
Step 4: From each sub-branch, draw horizontal arrows for the causes. Sub-causes can be added as necessary.
