A traditional wings fishbone diagram mimics a fish skeleton where the underlying problem is placed as the fish's head (facing right), and the causes extend to the left as the bones of the skeleton; the ribs branch off the back and denote major causes, while sub-branches branch off of the causes and denote root causes. The mechanism specifically identifies the cause and effect of any business or project problem. In the high CoGS% Variance, causes are Waste, Training, Product, Supply, and Systems. These causes affect traditional wings, like varied product quality, varied wings weights, compensating for small wings, inaccurate order taking, fumbles, missing items in bags, over-dropping wings, too many per order, not ringing in fumbles, and more.
