Summary

Learn to identify, correct and eliminate recurring problems.

8D is a team-based problem-solving methodology that was originally used in the automotive industry but is now used in a wide range of industry applications. It is designed to put a short-term fix in place, find the real root cause of a problem and implement a permanent long-term solution.

This highly practical and interactive course focuses on ensuring you can implement the 8D methodology and problem-solving tools immediately and apply it in a variety of scenarios, from shop floor staff needing to use the tools as part of problem-solving teams; to managers looking to drive improvements.

The course has a strong emphasis on the practical problem-solving tools, and how to link the 8D approach into existing organisational processes

Delivery format

This is a classroom based course, delivered face to face.
