8D Problem Solving 

Problems are like dandelions - if you do not get the root they simply come back again. 

This approach to team problem Solving is based on the world renowned 8D (8 disciplines) methodology; it was originally developed by the Ford Motor Company and is currently employed successfully in some of the world's leading organisations. The 8 step process incorporates 8 problem-solving tools in structured and systematic manner. 

It incorporates 8 problem-solving tools designed to link together to provide an 8 step process (hence the name 8D) in a structured and systematic manner. This process is actually delivered through an 8D template that makes it easy and effective for people to do. It is a little like " Complete the 8 boxes on the template and you will solve the root cause of the problem" 

Through highly interactive workshops you will be provided with all the skills you need to use the CforC 8D approach to Problem Solving. Delegates use the 8D template to solve a real problem as they go through the learning of all the individual tools. High emphasis is also placed upon the soft skills of problem solving team working, as it is in this area that the high impact benefits are won or lost. This means that every delegate will have used the 8D approach and template to solve a real  problem.  

Each participant will take away with them: 

• A grounded understanding of the critical few tools for successful root cause problem solving. 
• An 8D template that can be used in the workplace the next day. 
• Tips and suggestions for removing barriers and obstacles to problem solving. 
• Increased confidence due to the successful application of the method with a workshop example. 

Who Would Benefit from this 8D Approach?

Owner-managers, managers at all levels in the organisations, especially team leaders, supervisors and middle managers.
