Fishbone diagram, also known as cause and effect diagram or fishbone diagram, is a widely used quality

management tool to identify potential causes of a specific problem. In the case of a CPL 85 vertical
bagger, this diagram can be useful in analyzing common problems related to its operation. The fishbone
diagram, developed by Japanese statistician Kaoru Ishikawa, is a visual tool for organizing and
graphically representing the various causes that may contribute to a given problem. It is mainly used in
manufacturing industries to analyze and solve quality problems, but can also be applied to other fields.

To start, let's create the fishbone diagram by putting the central problem, i.e. the common problems of
the CPL 85 vertical bagger, in the center of the graph. Typical issues that might be identified in this
context might include:

1. Packaging quality issues - such as torn packaging, leaks or leaks.

2. Production speed issues - such as frequent stoppages, insufficient production speed, or timing
mechanism malfunctions.

3. Maintenance issues - such as frequent breakdowns, excessive wear of critical parts, or ineffective
lubrication.

4. Control issues - such as material feed faults, weighing system malfunctions, or errors in programming
parameters.

5. Ergonomics issues - such as difficulty in use, ill-placed controls, or complex adjustments.

Once the central problems are identified, we then need to determine the main categories of causes that
may contribute to these problems. Commonly used categories in fishbone diagram include raw
materials, labor, machines, methods, measurements, and environments.

Once the central problems are identified, we then need to determine the main categories of causes that

materials, labor, machines, methods, measurements, and environments.

Take the example of packaging quality issues. The categories of possible causes could be the following:

1. Raw materials - quality of packaging material, problems with the supply of raw materials.

2. Labor - skill and training of operators, human errors in the packaging process.
3. Machinery - mechanical component faults, machine calibration issues.

4. Methods - improper packaging procedures, lack of preventative maintenance.

5. Measurements - faulty quality control tools, poor calibration of instruments.

6. Environments - improper temperature or humidity, intrusion of contaminants.

Once all the causes have been identified, it is time to carry out further investigations to determine the
real causes of the problems. This may involve data analysis, testing, field inspections, operator
interviews, etc.

In conclusion, the fishbone diagram is a valuable tool for analyzing common problems with a CPL 85
vertical bagger. It helps organize potential causes into clear categories, making it easier to find the real
causes of the problem. By using this diagram, effective corrective actions can be taken to improve
bagger performance.
