How to insert the component
The template can be used to start new projects or to extend existing projects. Please read chapter "The Templates" to learn more about how to start new projects.
In order to extend your project:
- Activate the Insert Ribbon
- Click the Add Tool button on the Insert ribbon
- Click the icon in the template catalog
The component is located in this cycle/phase combinations:
Activate the right cycle by clicking its item at the blue left section of the template catalog. Then scroll the window to the right phase in order to find the module .
After inserting the Mind Map template into your project, you can find a diagram with the VOC (Voice of the Customer) as root and some placeholder items. If you want to follow the Ishikawa method, rename the placeholders or create new items according to the 6M / 4MPE:
In order to rename an existing element, just click it and start typing. New items can be added by different means. At first you always have to select an existing item by clicking on it. The selected / focused item has a black frame around the box.
Using the keyboard:
- Insert a new item below the focus by pressing [Enter]
- Insert a new sub item by pressing [Shift]+[Enter]
Using the ribbon menu:
Select the Home ribbon
- Click New Requirement After to insert a new item after the focused item
- Click New Requirement to insert a new sub item
- Click New Function or New CTQ to create a relation to a VOC
The ribbon menu will always adapt to the selected item. Menu commands that belong to another tree, e.g. Functional Requirements, will insert new items into this tree and connect them to the selected item by adding a relation to the appropriate matrix. This way you can edit the full cascade of QFD matrices in one single mind map diagram.
