In today's fast-paced and highly competitive business environment, the ability to solve problems effectively is crucial to achieving company success.

​

The 8D (Eight Disciplines) approach is a systematic problem solving process. Popularized by Ford, the 8D process integrates best practices from various problem-solving methods and is now a standard in the automotive industry. The 8D problem solving process has proven to be highly effective in product and process improvement.

​

Built on the logic of the PDCA cycle, the 8D process enables cross-functional problem-solving teams to identify root causes, develop countermeasures, and implement permanent corrective action to prevent recurrence. The process incorporates analytical tools such as 5W2H, Is/Is Not Analysis, and Root Cause Analysis using the 5 Whys and Fishbone Diagram.

​

In this highly interactive two-day workshop, participants will learn how to follow the 8D process steps while working in teams. They will also practice problem-solving tools to support root cause analysis and eliminate problems through permanent corrective action. Participants can expect engaging team activities, relevant exercises, and real-world case studies to reinforce their learning. Upon completion of this workshop, participants will have acquired the skills and knowledge to lead and participate in effective problem-solving teams that drive continuous improvement within their organizations.
