8-D Problem Solving (Eight Discipline)

Web-Based  •  Network/LAN  •  CD-ROM

8-D Problem-Solving (Eight Discipline) is a step-by-step problem-solving methodology popularized by Ford Motor Company.  With the 8-D problem-solving process (or Global 8-D as Ford calls it), teams address and solve problems by uncovering and eliminating the root cause of the problem.  

8-D Training can be time consuming and difficult to develop.  It requires teaching the 8-D problem-solving process as well as data collection and analysis tools such as Pareto diagrams, fishbone diagrams, and flowcharts to name just a few.  With 8-D Problem-Solving training employees can learn how to use the 8-D Problem-Solving Process at a time and place that is convenient, yet at the same time they will be fully prepared to serve on an 8-D problem solving team when assigned to their first project.
