ɢᴏᴏᴅ ᴛᴏ ᴋɴᴏᴡ – ɪsʜɪᴋᴀᴡᴀ-ᴅɪᴀɢʀᴀᴍ – ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪs ɪᴛ? The Ishikawa or cause-effect diagram is a graphical representation of the relationship 🔁 between causes and the resulting effect (positive✅ or negative❌). This method analytically searches for the causes of a problem by breaking down the main causes until the root of the problem is found. The aim🏁 of the Ishikawa diagram is to identify all the circumstances that lead to a certain situation as an actual state ☝🏼 and to visualise the interdependencies📈📉 The creation of a cause-and-effect diagram takes place in 5️⃣ successive steps👣: 1. formulation of the problem 2. definition of the main influencing variables (e.g. categories equipment, environment/environment, man, machine, material, method) 3. collection of possible causes 4. evaluation and categorisation 5. evaluation ➡️ Derive measures 𝘼𝙙𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙨✅ - Well suited for working in groups - Low implementation effort, the method is easy to learn - Contributes to a better understanding of causes and their effects 𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙖𝙙𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙨❌ - Confusing for complex problems - Interactions between different causes cannot be visualised - No consideration of temporal dependencies Further information: https://hubs.ly/Q02KclfC0

ɴᴇᴡ ʜᴇᴀᴅ ᴏғ ʜʀ – ᴅᴀᴠɪᴅ ᴍüʟʟᴇʀ On July 1, we welcomed our new colleague - David Müller - as our future Head of HR at STEP-G in Bonn🎈🥳 David brings extensive HR experience from industry, including at the SMS group and Hydro Aluminium, and most recently held a management position at a medium-sized company in the chemical industry🧪 He will succeed Frank Bächstädt, our current HR Director, who will be taking his well-deserved retirement at the end of 2024. "I'm looking forward to the tasks💪 that await me and my team at STEP-G. The company, like many other organisations, is facing major challenges in terms of attracting, retaining and engaging employees in the future➡ HR will have to play a key role here to make STEP-G competitive in the long term," emphasises David, adding: "To achieve this, we need to link our HR activities much more closely to the corporate strategy, think consistently from the customer's perspective and create structures that are optimally aligned with this." David was able to get a first impression of his colleagues even before his official start▶ "I've already had the opportunity to get to know my team and many managers at two workshops👨🏽🏫 I received a very appreciative and open welcome and also felt a lot of positive energy🔋 to develop the company further. This gives me confidence for the tasks ahead." We are very happy to welcome David as part of the STEP-G family and wish him much success 🍀 and a good start▶ in his new area of responsibility. #proudtobestepg #stepgteam #workingatstepg #hr #bonn
