The purpose of writing this article is to examine the concept of improving the quality of Kaoru Ishikawa and its implementation in improving the quality of education. Quality according to Ishikawa is customer satisfaction and quality is not only product quality but also includes people, processes, and every aspect of the organization. The quality improvement effort made by Ishikawa is by implementing a Quality Control system. In this effort, Ishikawa recommends establishing a QC Circle and the use of basic quality tools, one of which is the Cause and Effect Diagram.
