[1] Affinity Diagram:

→ We can use an Affinity_Diagram for organizing a large number of ideas/data into their natural sets of relationships.

→ This tool is also known as a KJ Method because it was invented by a Japanese anthropologist Jiro Kawakita.
→ During the creation of an affinity_diagram, all team members need to brainstorm and collect the ideas as much as possible.

→ So that based on an idea, we need to arrange the data as per their natural relationship for solving the problem.

[2] Interrelationship Diagram:

→ An Interrelationship_Diagram helps us to show cause-and-effect relationships between the different ideas.

→ We can use this tool for analyzing complex things in a simple way.
→ This tool is also used to solve a very critical and confusing problem very easily.

[3] Tree Diagram:

→ The Tree_Diagram helps us to make our planning more accurately.

→ It breaks our objectives into sub-tasks and sub sub-tasks and so on.

→ We can achieve our objectives with the help of the Tree_Diagram.

→ During this activity, we are moving from general ideas to very specific goals.

→ The other names of the Tree_Diagram are (a) Systematic_Diagram, (b) Dendrograms, (c) Hierarchy diagram, (d) Organisation chart, and (e) Analytical Tree.

[4] Matrix Diagram:

→ Matrix_Diagram Shows the relationship between more than one group of data sets to each other.

→ In other words, we can say that this tool is used for many to many comparisons.

→ The Matrix_Diagram gives us clarity of the relationship between the different sets of data.

→ This tool is very helpful for developing the Quality Function Deployment (QFD).

[5] Matrix Data Analysis Chart:

→ This tool is used to analyze complex mathematical matrices.

→ We can easily perform market research and make a strategy for new products and services launching in the market.

→ Matrix Data Analysis Chart is also used as a Prioritization Matrix.

[6] Arrow Diagram:

→ Arrow_Diagram is used to making the best scheduling for the project.

→ We can optimize the tasks and processes of our project with the help of this tool.

→ It is also known as Activity Network_Diagram, Network_Diagram, and Activity Chart.

→ Arrow_Diagram is broadly used in the Program Evaluation and Review Technique [PERT], and Critical Path Method [CPM].

[7] Process Decision Program Chart:

→ The Process Decision Program Chart is used to identify the possibility of what might go wrong during the project implementation.

→ In other words, we can say that this tool is used for forecasting the failures that may happen while the implementation of the project.

→ With the help of this tool, we can revise our project steps that might go wrong.
