“…Among the drawbacks of implementing the 8D methodology is its use as a one-page problem-reporting effort, and it requires the report to be produced within 24 hours, but some steps can take a few hours, while others can take weeks (Rambaud, 2006). Banica and Belu (2019) presented the 8D method as a methodology of the Quick Response Quality Control (QRQC) tool. It is one of the most widely used problem-solving tools related to nonconformity reoccurrence prevention in the manufacturing process, commonly used for complaints management in the automotive industry.…”

“…This is a quick and comprehensive problem-solving process for manufacturing and service organizations that guarantees problems do not reoccur; at the same time, it establishes dynamics of continuous improvement and changes management culture. Banica and Belu (2019) reported the results of a case study on implementing the 8D methodology for the improvement of the painting process in the body of cars in the Romanian automotive industry (Banica and Belu, 2019). Zarghami and Benbow (2017) argued that the 8D problem-solving method is a scientific, systematic approach which present similarities to the DMAIC method.…”

Problems in manufacturing have always been a hurdle for leadership, engineers, and professionals. They can lead to low productivity, poor quality, high costs, and ultimately loss of customers. Problems should be prevented by fair means and following well-established methodologies of continuous process improvement. The present paper addresses this topic, which in both academic and professional literature has been discussed from one single angle–that is, how to use a specific methodology in a certain situation. From that perspective, researchers from academia and consultancy promote the use of a particular method. One of the greatest challenges to researchers and practitioners in manufacturing is to select the right methodology for problem-solving and process improvement. The present paper attempts to address this issue from a literature review perspective. The approach followed is based on the fact that understanding the attributes of process improvement methodologies reported in the open literature and their linkages to the main phases of the continuous improvement process will provide insights on how the selection of the methodologies can be carried out in real manufacturing situations.

“…The 8D is a systematic approach to prevent and solve problems and confusion throughout the project within a company or an organization [57] through problem identification and rapid response by maintaining flow and consistency. The 8D approach establishes proactive actions for eradicating root causes by implementing permanent corrective actions, as described previously [58]. Unique solutions to specific problems are constantly modified and maintained as models.…”

The consensus in the Norwegian construction industry is that the projects are characterized by conflicts. Because unresolved disputes that reach courts take time and resources to be solved, this leads to lost productivity and high costs for all stakeholders. Of the root causes of conflicts identified previously, tender specification and contract understanding were the most significant issues. To expand on previous findings, a qualitative analysis of 58 formal, semi-structured interviews was conducted to determine whether personal characteristics and types of contracts presented conflicts. Interviews were conducted with contractors, public clients, consultants, academics, and lawyers. Data were analyzed using NVIVO 12.0 following specific relevant themes and thematic maps. Corrective and preventive actions included the development of a new method to produce better-prepared tender documents, knowledge building in contract management, training to ensure better communication and dialogue between client and contractor, trust-building, dispute resolution along the way, and avoid awarding contracts at the lowest price or the use of a hybrid model. Improved routines may drive costs down, and cooperation and new forms of tendering and contracting could be the key to prevent and minimize disputes in Norway.

“…To address these issues, manufacturers must improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their solutions and production processes through quality assurance efforts using the Lean Six Sigma framework based on the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) process and the PDCA cycle of the ISO 9001:2015 and the Lean 8D method [6][7][8][9][10]. The 8D methodology, also known as the Ford TOPS 8D, was first developed and implemented by Ford Motor in the 1980s Click or tap here to enter text.and has been widely adopted in the automotive industry for problem-solving [11][12][13]. It is still used by many companies.…”

Customer satisfaction is critical for the success of any organization. This case study presents a design company and manufacturing supplier that has received customer complaints about defective temperature sensors and power supply units in maritime vessels. The research aims to identify the root cause of the issue and implement a solution to prevent its recurrence using the Lean Eight Disciplines methodology. This includes: (1) a 5 Whys analysis by a cross-functional team, (2) confirmation of the problem description, (3) containment actions, ( 4) root cause analysis of the occurrence, ( 5) permanent corrective actions, ( 6) implementation of the permanent corrective action, ( 7) actions to prevent recurrence, and ( 8) closure with an 8D report and congratulations to the cross-functional team from the design, engineering, and supplier production sites.This study presents the development and implementation of the Eight Disciplines (8D) investigation tool for addressing issues in the factories and improving the product life cycle in the manufacturing industry. The 8D tool is designed for the cross-functional teams to work together to identify the root cause of problems using the "five whys" method and implement corrective and preventive actions to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future. The novelty of this case study is the development of an 8D analytics template for product managers and practitioners in manufacturing and production companies to use for improving the quality of products throughout their life cycle. The case study also highlights the challenges and opportunities of using the 8D tool for problem-solving, including the high warranty cost and production failures, the unreliability of products and resources, and different scopes of issues. In one example, the 8D analytics template was used to identify a long-term fix for a circuit prone to leakage current by using a different flux chemistry that can be cleaned with a water-based solvent, rather than the traditional "no-clean" solder flux that requires specific solvents for effective cleaning.
