The 8D (Eight Disciplines) problem-solving methodology is a robust approach used to address and resolve complex issues. Initially developed by Ford Motor Company, it is now widely used across several industries.
The 8D methodology involves eight critical steps and is highly effective in driving continuous improvement, enhancing product quality, and increasing customer satisfaction by addressing problems at their root.
