Instructions:: Cause & Effect Matrix

1. The document provides instructions for completing a cause and effect matrix to identify key inputs (causes) and output requirements (effects) for a given process. 2. The user is asked to enter output requirements in the left column, assign an importance rating, identify process inputs across the top, and assign correlation factors between inputs and outputs. 3. The matrix then calculates importance scores and rankings to identify which inputs have the greatest effect on the most important outputs.
