Abstract:

Procedures for creating a Fishbone diagram often assume all the possible participants contribute. However, sampling among the participants may be required. The sampled Fishbone diagrams are analyzed to estimate the portion of the Fishbone diagram that is completed in the sample. Additionally, recommendations for the size of a second sample to achieve a desired level of completeness are computed. The estimates use existing software for capture-recapture studies. Data was obtained in classroom activities. Additionally, a follow up activity is described. Possible applications in education, business, and government are presented, also.
