Cause\Effect Diagrams

The table below is the index to a set of cause\effect diagrams that relate either to System Integration (S.I.).  I am certain that they are not proper cause\effect diagrams, i.e. they don’t detail only causes and effects but they do, hopefully, get a message across.

 

They have enabled me to explain what affects the various aspects of S.I. even if the normal rules of cause\effect diagrams are not applied.

 

Although they all refer to S.I. they were produced for my dissertation; the diagrams were produced with my dissertation in mind.  Some of the boxes will need to be read in this context.

 

Please do not apply the exact rules of cause\effect diagrams when looking at them, try and see the general message.

 

Subsequent to completing these cause\effect diagrams I have done a second iteration of the same information, this time using mind maps.
