8D report
8D reports guide cross-functional teams through containment, root cause analysis, corrective action, and validation steps.
Disciplines D4 and D5 emphasise rigorous root cause analysis techniques.
When to use 8D
8D is ideal for recurring or high-impact defects that require collaboration across engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain.
It provides a common language for customers and suppliers to evaluate the response.
Driving team alignment
Each discipline documents the team members, problem statement, containment, root cause, corrective actions, and prevention steps.
Teams often recalculate RPN updates after implementing preventive actions.
