Ishikawa Diagram

[dYoast]

Is there a way to generate and populate an Ishikawa diagram?

For my case, I have reasons for machine downtime.  I want to populate the bones with the top 5 stations and list the top 5 reasons for each station.

Are you doing like one of these? or like 1,000? is it like part of an auotmation (automation reviews x,y,z, creates the fishbone diagram?) --- I can't see any integration/way to do this which would be faster than manually doing this for any small/medium size number. Basically the way I'm thinking it ---> you'd need to like create a template in lucid chart or something. copy the template/update the template via api---> you also might be able to use something like https://matplotlib.org/stable/gallery/specialty_plots/ishikawa_diagram.html ---> and I'm sure Claude/ChatGpt can help out there. Still at like sub 20 ---> it would be easier to do this manually.

Is it possible? umm. sure.

As I ponder your ask, I do think you could create this by ranking the stations/downtimes and then simply branching those top-5 off using filter tools.  That might be over-simplifying, but the concept is there.  Having it arranged illustratively though, I think might be difficult.  I'm sure others will have ideas too.

Thanks all.

I will have to look at the python code more, but it sounds like a template will be the solution.

I am also thinking about how to assign x-y pairs to the elements and use them to draw lines with the chart tool.
