8D Problem Solving in an Industry 4.0 Environment [Non-Nissan Suppliers]

This two-day workshop will discuss the 8D problem solving process in an Industry 4.0 environment. 8D Problem Solving is a disciplined and effective approach to solve chronic and recurring problems. 8D provides excellent guidelines to identify the root cause of the problem, implement containment actions, develop and then implement corrective and preventive actions to eliminate the problem permanently. This is accomplished by utilizing a simulated Industry 4.0 Factory and completing a hands on walk through of the 8D disciplines. Attendees will also complete an 8D long form during the simulated activity.

• Industry 4.0 Overview
• Process Mapping
• 8 Disciplines of Problem Solving
• 8D Long Form
• Root Cause Analysis
• Real-world Problem-Solving Simulation

Engineers, supervisors, and managers who want to take a more proactive, systematic approach to problem solving.
