Problem Solving The 8D Approach Course Overview

Learn from the original creator of this course – Ms. Swing Goh.

Problems are encountered frequently in the workplace and additional time and resources are required to find solutions. However, in the essence of being productive (the need to find a fix immediately), implementing ways to eliminate the root cause of such problems can be complex and challenging.

The 8D problem solving (Eight Disciplines) is a step-by-step problem-solving methodology popularized by Ford Motor Company. With the 8D problem-solving process, project teams are chartered to solve problems by eliminating the root cause of the problem and reduce its future occurrence.

At the end of the course, learners are able to:

  • appreciate what 8D is and how it enables organizations to efficiently resolve quality-related problems
  • learn the key phases and elements of 8D
  • understand how to use 8D to avoid future problems
  • confidently apply the 8D process to analyze and eliminate problems

This workshop is suitable for multi-disciplinary individuals – any personnel who lead, or are involved with, problem-solving and continual improvement activities.

Learners are guided through practical steps of the topic with a combination of mini-lectures, group activities, discussions, hands-on exercises, games and Q&A sessions in this interactive workshop.
