Solutions to problems in lean manufacturing are manifold. However, there are also different ways to approach these problems. In this blog post, I will give you an overview of different ways to structure your problems, so you can match them with an adequate response or problem-solving approach.
In this (by now rather long) series of blog posts on the Eight Disciplines Problem Solving (8D) I have explained the nine (!) steps of the 8D in detail. In this last blog post of this series, I will now look at the strengths and weaknesses of the Eight Disciplines Problem Solving, especially in comparison to the Toyota Practical Problem Solving (PPS). Both aim to solve problems, but do so slightly differently. Let me give you my thoughts…
In this series of posts I go through the Eight Disciplines Problem Solving (8D) in more detail. In my last post, I talked about D5: Develop Permanent Solution and D6: Implement Permanent Solution. In this post I will go into more detail on the last two points, D7: Prevent Recurrence and D8: Close Problem and Recognize Contributors. This would close the review of the 8D, but I have one more post on my general comments on 8D in comparison to other methods like the Toyota Practical Problem Solving. Read on!
In this series of posts I go through the Eight Disciplines Problem Solving (8D) in more detail. In my last post, I talked about D4: Root Cause Analysis and Escape Points, which is almost two separate points. In this post I will go into more detail of D5: Develop Permanent Solution and D6: Implement Permanent Solution. My next post will look at the last two disciplines of the 8D with D7: Prevent Recurrence and D8: Close problem and Recognize Contributors. Read on!
In this series of posts I go through the Eight Disciplines Problem Solving (8D) in more detail. In my last post, I talked about D2: Describe the Problem and D3: Develop Interim Containment Plan. In this post I will go into more detail of D4: Root Cause Analysis and Escape Points. (Now you can probably guess what my next post will be all about too.) Read on!
In this series of posts I go through the Eight Disciplines Problem Solving (8D) in more detail. In my last post, I talked about D0: Preparation and Emergency Response Actions and D1: Establish a Team. In this post I will go into more detail of D2: Describe the Problem and D3: Develop Interim Containment Plan. (Now you can probably guess what my next post will be all about too). Read on!
In my previous posts, I looked at where the Eight Disciplines Problem Solving (8D) originated from, like the Ford Pinto fuel tank scandal, and also when to use 8D (and when not to). In this post I want to go deeper into the Eight Disciplines Problem Solving and dive through all eight… actually nine steps of this 8D. Since this is a lot of material to cover, I will go though it bit by bit, with this post covering the first two disciplines D0: Preparation and Emergency Response Actions and D1: Establish a Team.
This series of blog posts looks into more detail at the Eight Disciplines Problem Solving (8D), a popular method to tackle recurring problems. In my last post, I looked at where the Eight Disciplines Problem Solving (8D) originated, like the Ford Pinto fuel tank scandal. This post goes deeper into what the Eight Disciplines Problem Solving is actually for, when to use it, and when not.
