Description

Eight Disciplines Problem Solving was first developed by Ford Motor Company in 1987. The 8D Problem Solving Process is a systematic methodology that was specific to the manufacturing sector, but has since been adapted into other areas of business for its emphasis on streamlining quality and reliability.

The key advantage this process offers is its comprehensive structure. It emphasizes not just how to better detect and shoot down problems, but rather how to reorient the system around the problem to contain it and create features that permanently prevent a recurrence. Systemic reforms driven by the zero tolerance for risk and full accountability of “Root Cause Analysis”.

This 1-day program offers a rundown of the key principles at work in the 8D Problem Solving Process and how to implement them in your industry.

By the end of the 8D Problem Solving Process program, delegates will be able to:

  • Understand the purpose and objectives of 8D Problem Solving Tools and Techniques.
  • Understand the phases of the 8D Problem Solving Process.
  • Apply the different problem solving tools and principles in various situations.
