Tree Diagram

Hierarchical diagram that decomposes a broad objective, cause or requirement into increasingly detailed elements.

Examples

01A tree diagram breaks the goal 'reduce order lead time' into sub-goals such as faster credit checks, quicker picking and earlier shipping.
02The tree diagram is documented with data for each branch before the team chooses where to act first.
03A follow-up review checks whether the branches chosen from the tree diagram really shortened lead time.
