8D Methodology : From Concept to Application Across Manufacturing Industries

Abstract

In the manufacturing organizations the process management and quality management is most important functions. Todays, in a competitive environment to stable organization for long time the organizations want to be successful they must quickly acclimate to changing conditions. If the problems are occurring in the organization related to the product and process the organization should be able to solve occurring problems with the flexibility towards conditions. In the organization there are various tools and methods are used for solving the occurring problems. But, there are one of these methods is 8D (Eight Disciplines). It is a structured process to solving the problems. The 8D methodology allows to solve the problems on time and correctly. Due to that fact, the 8D methodology is one of the best usable approaches for improving the quality of product, process and sort out the complaints of customer. In this research, the 8D methodology has been applied to solve the problems in the automotive industries. The subject area will yield a large value to implementing the 8D methodology for academics, advisers, researcher, and practitioners.
