The 8D Problem-Solving process is an effective methodology for identifying, addressing, and preventing issues within teams and processes. It involves forming a team, clearly defining the problem, implementing containment actions, identifying root causes using tools like the 5 Why analysis and Fishbone diagram, and choosing corrective actions. The final steps focus on verifying results to ensure effectiveness and institutionalizing actions to prevent recurrence. Celebrate the team’s efforts and successes at the end of the process to reinforce collaboration and improvement.

Subcomponents 8D for Problem Solving Step 1 – Form the Team Lead:________________________ Team-members:______________________ _________________________ ______________________ _________________________ ______________________ _________________________ Step 2 – Describe the Problem Problem Statement: ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ Step 3 – Describe Containment Actions (completed before restart) ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Step 4 – Identify Root Cause(s) 5 Why – Ask “why” until you truly understand root cause(s) Is/Is Not Table – Summarize the facts about good and bad products/processes Fishbone – Brain-storm many potential causes through cause and effect diagram Step 5 – Choose and Implement Corrective Actions Step 6 – Verify/Evaluate Results Evaluate and Verify that the countermeasures actually fixed the problem: Step 7 – Prevent Recurrence Institutionalize the corrective actions. Step 8 – Congratulate the Team
