The template initially includes six elements arranged in a circle, with guidance on how to add more elements by duplicating existing boxes and arrows. It explains that element boxes will scale to the text length and advises on writing element names. The process of adding impact direction arrows, duplicating them, and adjusting their position and direction is detailed. Finally, it instructs users to count the arrows and replace placeholders with the sums above the element boxes. The template and instructions are excerpts from 'Root Cause Analysis: Simplified Tools and Techniques' by Bjørn Andersen and Tom Fagerhaug.

After increasing the number of elements, you will also have to rearrange the location of the existing elements, but their exact position is not important as long as you place them apart to be able to draw lines between them.  \n• The boxes with elements scale to the length of the text that you replace “Element 1”,“Element 2”, etc., with.  \n• Write the name of the elements in the boxes.  \n• When adding impact direction arrows to the diagram, duplicate as many copies as required from the one arrow already given in the diagram. Using the mouse, the arrows can be moved around in the diagram and you can easily change their direction and length.  \n• Finally, count the number of arrows in each direction and replace x/y with the sums above the element boxes.  \nGo to Template  \nTemplate and instructions excerpted from Root Cause Analysis: Simplified Tools and Techniques, by Bjørn Andersen and Tom Fagerhaug.  \nTo access more healthcare-specific examples of quality tools, subscribe to ASQ’s Healthcare Update newsletter: [www.asq.org/healthcare/update_info.html](www.asq.org/healthcare/update_info.html).","cbCainsfwNlSxDPN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainsfwNlSxDPN","pdf",66366,"English","# Relations Diagram Template Instructions\n## Adding More Elements\n## Adding Impact Direction Arrows","[{\"question\":\"What software is required to use the relations diagram template?\",\"answer\":\"The relations diagram template is designed for use with Microsoft Word.\"},{\"question\":\"How can I add more than six elements to the relations diagram?\",\"answer\":\"To add more elements, open the Drawing toolbar in Word, select an element box, press Ctrl + D to duplicate it, and position it appropriately.
