INTRODUCTION TO CAUSE-EFFECT DIAGRAM:

Ishikawa diagrams (also called fishbone diagrams, herringbone

diagrams, cause-and-effect diagrams, or Fishikawa) are causal diagrams

created by Kaoru Ishikawa (1968) that show the causes of a specific

event. Common uses of the Ishikawa diagram are product design and

quality defect prevention, to identify potential factors causing an

overall effect. Each cause or reason for imperfection is a source of

variation. Causes are usually grouped into major categories to identify

these sources of variation.

Causes in the diagram are often categorized, such as to the 6 M's, described below. Cause-and-effect diagrams can reveal key relationships among various variables, and the possible causes provide additional insight into process behavior.

Causes can be derived from brainstorming sessions. These groups can then be labeled as categories of the fishbone. They will typically be one of the traditional categories mentioned above but may be something unique to the application in a specific case. Causes can be traced back to root causes with the 5 Whys technique.

ROOT CAUSES:

1. Corporates 2. College 3. Academics 4. Skills and Abilities 5. Administration 6. New Technologies

SOLUTIONS:

1. Regular camps after a gap of around 15-30 days for practical

applications.

2. Discussion sessions should be organized so that, students could

interact and know how to present themselves.

3. Proper circular and notices should be issued regarding the

placements, companies their expectations.

4. Teachers should play a vital role in discussing new technologies .Also

student forum should be there in which discussions should take

place.

5. Teachers should incorporate some student interns on their research

work as they are full of energy and would bring something new.

6. Concept and understanding of the course is important not cramming

like fools which one can forget easily.

LESSONS LEARNED BY THE TEAM:

1. Focus should be on practical knowledge.

2. One should have plenty of information to get involved in that

particular research work i.e. assisting teachers so that they also will

be interested in taking us.

3. Confidence and communication skills but little less knowledge is not

such a bad option.

4. Presentation is what one should mainly focus on.
