The 8D (Eight Disciplines) Methodology is a robust and systematic problem-solving process developed by the U.S. Department of Defense and later popularized by Ford Motor Company.
It is widely used across industries to address critical issues by identifying, correcting, and eliminating recurring problems. The methodology is especially effective in the context of manufacturing, engineering, and quality management, but it has also found applications in other business areas where root cause analysis and corrective actions are essential.
Purpose of 8D
The primary purpose of the 8D methodology is to solve problems by identifying their root cause, implementing corrective actions, and preventing their recurrence. It is designed to guide teams through a structured process that emphasizes team collaboration, data-driven analysis, and continuous improvement.
