Do you have a complex problem that just doesn’t seem to get solved? Maybe there are multiple causes to the problem. Identifying the possible causes using a Fishbone Diagram can help you select and prioritize the most likely causes. Join us on February 16 to learn this simple tool and how it can be used to improve processes.
The session begins with a brief presentation of the steps to developing a continuous improvement culture. Participants will then learn the Fishbone Diagram and how it is used to identify potential root causes of problems. Finally, a review of the Doubled Haploid Seedling Survival project conducted in CIMMYT will emphasize how identifying root causes and implementing solutions improved seedling survival.
