What is a Tree Diagram?

Tree Diagram is a technique for mapping outfull range of paths and tasks that need to bedone in order to achieve a primary goal andrelated sub goals. Such a diagram revealsin a simple way with clarity not only themagnitude of the problem but also helps toarrive at methods which are to be pursued

to achieve the results. In other words, itserves the purpose of developing theessential means to achieve an objective orgoal.

USES OF TREE DIAGRAM

Suppose we have been given a task, we will have a targetor goal to achieve.

Similarly if we are facing a problem or constraint, we have tofind out the causes to workout the remedy for overcoming theproblem.

In case of task we will be using the terminology goal andmeans and for problem the terminology constraint and

cause.


5/24

Tree Diagram can be used to achieve certaintarget or goal and also to overcome certain

problem / constraint

Here it displays in a systematic manner each

level as means or causes, which in turnbecomes goal or constrain of next stage.

This helps to clarify the objective, whichmakes one to understand the magnitude ofthe issue and resources and methods needed

to achieve or manage them.

The uses are to find outa) In which order we should take up the key issues of

the problem to get full benefits?

b) What are the sub factors of the key issue?

c) Whether plan of actions is sequential.

d) How difficult the implementation process will be?

e) How many tasks and options will be the out come of

each key issues?

Tree Diagrams can be developed in

two ways. One is called

Component Development Type Tree

Diagram

and the other is called

Means Development Type or

Means Deployment Type Diagram.


10/24

1. Component Development Type Tree Diagram

Here the main subject is broken into basic element andthen relationship to the overall goal is shown. It also showsmeans for achieving that goal. In other words this typehelps to display the component elements in terms of theirpurposes and means.

GOAL MEANSApply for HDFC loan

Apply for office loan

Apply for PF loan

2. Plan Development Design Type orMeans Deployment Type Tree Diagram

Under this two broad clarificationcommonly

used Tree Diagrams are,a. Function Tree Diagram.

b. Quality Tree Diagram.

c. Means Deployment Tree Diagram.

d. Cause and Effect Tree Diagram.

This is useful when ways and means ofsolving problems are to be mapped out.

How to make Tree Diagram?

Step 1

If we are already given a task then we can proceed fromthere.

Step 2

Once the task is clear select a right team.

Tree diagram leads to an action plan. Hence teammembers should have intimate knowledge ofimplementation issues.


18/24

Step 3Have a big board and reusable (3M) adhesive stickers. Nowdays we have big magnetic boards available. Write on the

board the task for everybody to see. The most difficult partof constructing a Tree Diagram is arriving at primary cause or

principal means.The best way is carry out a brainstorming and generating thepoints associated to that i.e., action plan.Step 4

After the points are generated you may make an AffinityDiagram or Relations Diagram. This depends upon the groupas well as task in question. If the Affinity Diagram is made,make the header card and discuss. They will invariablybecome the primary means.

In case Relations Diagram is made select the points wherein

arrows are emerging or converging. They will help to arriveat primary means or principle cause.


19/24

Step 5Once the primary means or principle cause is arrived

at finding out the associated causes from the ideasgenerated is not a difficult task.

As we have already made an Affinity Diagram or

Relations Diagram identifying them is simple.They have to be organized as secondary,tertiary, quaternary etc.

At this stage further discussion by the group

will help to identify some causes which weremissed earlier. This way we can arrive at allthe causes and position them in the board.


20/24

Step 6

Now review thecompleted diagramfor logical flow.Effectiveness of Treediagram dependsupon how the meansor causes in each

level can achieve thetasks of the nexthigher level.

This needs to beensured at this

stage. Have adiscussion puttingup the question

Whether theseactions will help toachieve the resultneeded or fulfil theobjective?


21/24

TREE DIAGRAM Vs AFFINITY DIAGRAMAND RELATIONS DIAGRAM

Affinity Diagram and Relations Diagramhave no prescribed format but Tree

Diagram is made in an orderly structureand here things will look (crystal) clear toeveryone. As mentioned earlier, for TreeDiagram we can take up issues and breakthem to sub-levels, sub-sub levels andreaches to the lowest practical level ofaction.


22/24

TREE DIAGRAM Vs AFFINITY DIAGRAM ANDRELATIONS DIAGRAM (Contd.)

Tree Diagram is helpful in many ways.

i) It gives clarity to the issue.

ii) In showing the sequence in which things flow andwhat type of an effect each action will have on the mainissue would be much clear.

Here we are also able to assess the total activityinvolved in fulfilling a task. This will also give us clarityon the magnitude of the task, the number of peopleneeded, money needed and also the total time it willtake.


23/24

To sum up, Affinity Diagram uses gutlevel creativity and helps to have ameaningful picture when we face anunknown or very difficult problem.Interrelationship Digraph or Relations

Diagram helps to find out the causalrelation between the various factorsinvolved. Tree Diagram takes the key

issues of these processes and helpsto break them down into the lowestpractical level of details possible.


24/24

Summary

There are a lot of similarities between tree

Diagram and Cause and Effect Diagrammade using dispersion method.

But they have their own individuality also.

Cause and Effect Diagrams are made tofind out the causes for the effect. In case ofTree Diagram it is used for more purposes.Tree Diagram helps to work out the

minutest details of a task undertaken. Herewe can map out the choices before us andplan our actions based on our capability..
