INTRODUCTION

Are you are tired & frustrated at solving the same symptoms over and over and now you want to cure the disease? Do you have customer complaints, returns & warranty issues ? Are you a supplier to the manufacturing industry or wish to work in manufacturing ? You are ISO 9001 / IAFT 16949 Certified, or want to be ?

If you answered yes to any one of the above, you should consider this course on Eight Disciplines of Problem Solving (8D). This is a structured problem solving tool that helps you to address the root cause (disease) rather than the failures (symptoms).

Eight Disciplines of Problem Solving (8D) – also known as Global 8D is extensively used in the automotive and other engineering and manufacturing related industries.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

The objective of the course is to help gain understanding of the concept of a structured problem solving by leveraging a tool called 8-Disciplines problem solving (also known as Global 8D). 

Upon completion of this course, the participant will acquire the knowledge to:

  • Have a thorough understanding of the 8D process and describe each step
  • Capable of describing the tools and methods used in support of 8D
  • Explain how 8D teams are structured
  • Understand and be able to apply key problem solving tools in each phase of the 8D Problem Solving  Process, including Pareto Chart, 5 Whys, Process Flow Chart,  C & E Fish-bone Diagram, Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis(PFMEA), Mistake Proofing  and Process Control Plan
  • Identify Symptoms, Problem Statements, Problem Descriptions, Possible Causes, Most Likely Causes and Root Causes

We will discuss Case Studies and examples in this courseThe course will offer many mid-course learning checks and will offer additional reading resources.

The course is developed based on decades of front-line automotive industry experience of the instructor.
