8 Disciplines.
1.- Create a team.

1. Identify team
Originator or area leader (where the problem has been
generated) should select team members with expertise
and regular involvement on the activities related to the
problem.
6
2. Describe the problem
• “A problem well described is half solved.”
7
3. Implement a containment action.

4. Identify root cause.
• The objective is to develop hypotheses about what could be
the root cause and test them to verify which one is correct.
• Root Cause: The one that if taken care of, would eliminate all
future concerns of the problem (the problem specified on this
8D).

5. Identify corrective actions.
10
6. Implement corrective actions.
11
7. Define and implement preventive
action.
• Choose & Implement Permanent preventive actions: Team or
individual must identify, find, choose & implement permanent
preventive actions, assign responsibles & dates, Originator must give
follow up so they are implemented.
• Once the root cause is solve, What can be done to avoid that similar
problems occur?
• Review / Update PFMEA.
• Review the system. Update procedures, Control plan, etc..
• Address both causes: Occurrence and escape.
• Validate implementation of actions

8. Congratulate the team.

- Problem Description :
To solve a problem, it must be precisely defined, the object
or part concerned (Model), location of problem
(SPC,Log ,SQA), when the problem was dicovered (issue
2nd .- date), how big is the problem (amount of failues).
