Radar Chart – a Graphical Tool to Help with CSG Applications: The radar chart has a long history and has been recognized as an effective tool to provide a graphical representation to examine relationships in multivariate data. The various names of this tool include radar chart, web chart, spider chart as well as Kiviat diagram (Kolence and Kiviat 1973). Figure 9.13 shows a depiction of a radar chart from actual application of CSG. The chart maps each of the nine different metasystem functions ranging in effectiveness along a 100-point scale for a set of enterprise initiatives in contrast to their effectiveness for CSG. The essence of the radar chart is the ability to graphically show an array of data and support multiple different data sets on a single two-dimensional diagram.
Enterprise Assessment Using Shingo Assessment Criteria

While radar charts, such as the one provided in the upper half of Figure 25.3, derive their name from their visual resemblance to radar (and sonar) echolocation graphs, it is also the case that the content of a given radar chart is intended to “echo” or report the “location” or performance of an enterprise relative to the dimensions represented along its axes or arms. The performance along a given dimension is typically represented by positioning a dot on a 1-to-10 or 1-to-100 scale for the dimension, with “bigger” being “better” or, consistent with prior discussion, more mature. As such, when the dots on each arm of a radar chart are connected, patterns forming larger envelopes represent better or more mature performance relative to assessed elements, hence progression toward operational excellence.

Moreover, the radar chart is used to compare multiple quantitative variables and it is used for showing similar valued variables and deviations between them. Furthermore, the radar chart is also used to see the comparative values of the variables in a data set and to compare their performances. In the radar chart, each variable has an axis starting from the center. By maintaining the same scale between the axes, all axes are arranged radially and at an equal distance from each other. The grid lines connecting the axes are used as a guide, and the values of the variables in the data set are plotted along its axes and they are interconnected to form a polygon (Url-7).

A radar chart is a graphical tool for displaying multivariate data in the form of a two-dimensional chart and it is useful for displaying multivariate observations with an arbitrary number of variables (Chambers et al. 1983; Friendly 2009). Radar chart analysis involves simple calculations and is easy to understand, and it has been widely used in the fields of product comparison and control of quality improvement (Chang et al. 2012; Kalonia et al. 2013).
