8D Problem Solving
8D problem solving is an 8 step process for to investigate and identify the root cause of a concern, identify robust solutions to stop re-occurrence. Whilst this problem solving methodology has been developed by the automotive sector it is also widely used outside of the automotive sector too.
The course utilises case studies so that delegates can solve a problem during the course.
The case studies are an oil leak problem on a car or a non-automotive leaking board marker pen.
