8D PROBLEM SOLVING (1.5-Day Course)
8D is the global problem solving
method of choice for business and industry, and a mandatory
quality deliverable in many sectors such as aerospace and
automotive. The 8D approach focuses on analysing and
improving the control systems that allow problems to escape.
By implementing a robust and structured problem solving
approach it is possible to correctly identify the root
causes to prevent future occurrence. Applying the 8D toolkit
also requires many skills in analytical thinking and
decision making, and develops
best practice behavioural and
leadership skills which can then transfer to any business or
team challenge. The training sessions are based around a
step-by-step case study to practice using the tools and
techniques during team activities.
