Focus of the training

The 8D training covers the model of the eight disciplines and its application in problem solving. The 8D training reveals the approach used by quality assurance engineers for detecting, solving and eliminating recurring problems as part of product and process improvement.

After completing the training, the participants are able to: define what 8D is; demonstrate and apply the problem solving process; illustrate the 8D process using a diagram; analyze the main reasons and the 5 whys; apply the eight disciplines to problem solving; follow the 8D steps; use the 8D check list and good practices.

The trainings combine practical and theoretical aspects in ratio of 7:3.
