ITPEC FE Subject A April 2025 — Question 58 of 60
In a fishbone diagram, arrows point from cause to effect.
- •Arrow goes from B → A
- •Therefore B is the cause of A
Why not others:
- (a) attribute — an attribute describes a property, not a causal direction
- (c) means — "means" implies a method/tool relationship (used in means-end diagrams, not fishbone)
- (d) purpose — purpose would mean A exists for B, which reverses the logic
Key rule: Arrow direction = cause → effect. The tail is the cause, the head is the effect.
