IntroductionHISTORY First used by US government later popularised by Fords . WHAT IS 8 D? It is step by step problem solving methodology .

The Basic Premise of the 8 Processy Problems cannot be solved without definition of the

root causes. This process for defining the root causes takes several steps: Brainstorming possible causes Converting possible causes into most likely causes Verified Root Causes

Tools and techniques utilized in 8D to define root causes and their possible solutions are as follows: Problem Statement (What is wrong with what?) 5 Why technique Is and Is Not Difference and Change Analysis Fishbone/Cause and Effects Active and Passive Verification

Objectives Use structured problem solving and corrective action

methodology based on the Ford 8D process model. Understand the importance of finding the root cause to effectively solve problems Understand waste and process control Utilize various statistical tools for problem solving Effectively implement these disciplines in their organization Develop action plans to perform problem solving activities using the 8D methodology.

For Example : It is typically used in Ford, Intel and even with the SupplyChain of many large companies . In addition, when deployed intelligently 8D can utilize a database of past problems and solutions for prevention activities.

STRENGTH OF 8D PROBLEM SOLVING METHODS(BENEFITS)y It is a team approach. y It is used in product and process improvement y It suggests an effective approach to find root cause of y y y y y

problem It focuses on origin of the problem by determining root cause Developing proper actions to eliminate the problem Implementing the permanent corrective action. Helps to explore the control system that allowed the problem to escape . Improving the ability of the Control System to detect the failure or cause when it occurs again.

LIMITATIONS OF THE 8D PROBLEM SOLVING METHODy Time consuming and difficult to develop. y Requires training in the 8D problem-solving process as well

as data collection and also the analysis tools.
