An 8D Report, or Eight Disciplines Report, is a structured problem-solving methodology widely used in quality management and manufacturing. It provides a systematic approach to identify, analyze, and resolve complex issues, focusing on addressing the root cause rather than just the symptoms.
The eight disciplines encompass a series of steps, including problem definition, team formation, root cause analysis, corrective action implementation, and preventive measures. The goal of the 8D Report is to achieve long-term resolution of problems and prevent their recurrence, promoting continuous improvement within an organization.
