I see that there are still some "orphan" concepts in ARIS even in the current version where it would appear they have been forgotten about with no clear direction or method on their use.
Case in point the fishbone model - this should be a very easy piece to model but....it's not and doesn't appear to follow the usual format for creation.
Can anyone educate me please?
Cheers
Dear Marcos,
The fishbone diagram analyzes a problem (concern) in detail to determine the cause of the problem (cause-and-effect diagram). The fishbone diagram supports you in identifying the root causes of the problem. All major problems are analyzed. One principle is that the question Why? must be asked at least five times to identify the root cause.
You can create and define a fishbone in the following way (ARIS Architect):
Example case: We need to change the invoices.
There are the traditional ‘fishbone’ major factors like: People, Equipment, Method, Materials and Environment. But it is not necessarily to stick to these.
Drill down into the issues. Group them into relevant subcategories. Keep going until you have a diagram showing all the possible causes. Ask “why does this happen?" and place the answer as a branch (concern layer 2) from the appropriate category (concern layer 1). Add a connection between them and the Concern layer 1.
Why are so many invoices being not correct?
- Invoices are sent to delivery address
- Terms and conditions are often wrong
Why is the invoice structure too complicated?
- Textual explanations are missing
- The invoice contains unnecessary information
Finally, click Layout to structure the diagram in a better way.
I hope this information will help you :-).
Kind regards,
Eva
Hi Marcos,
For this model type, there is an extension pack license for Six Sigma which is Business Strategy.
The Lean Six Sigma and Value Stream Mapping methods are available in ARIS.
- ARIS Connect: it is contained in ARIS standard
- ARIS Architect and ARIS Designer: it is part of the Extension Pack “Business Strategy"
Methods
- model type "Fishbone Diagram",
- model type "CtX tree" (Critical To Tree).
- model type "SIPOC diagram" (SIPOC = Supplier Input Process Output Customer)
- model type "Value Stream mapping" can be used to create to order process from supplier to the customer.
- object type "success factor" in different model types
The content of ARIS SIx Sigma is documented in the online help of Architect see "Special topics and functions" - Six sigma
