EP029E - 8D Reports Made Simple: How to Solve Problems at Work—and at Home
The 8D report is a structured problem-solving method that originated from U.S. military standards and was later popularized by Ford Motor Company. It guides a team through eight steps to clarify the issue, identify root causes, plan short-term and long-term actions, and prevent the same problem from happening again.
8D isn’t just for responding to customer complaints—it’s also widely used internally for quality issues, knowledge sharing, cross-department collaboration, and building customer trust. Beyond work, the same logic can be applied to daily life, like reducing forgetfulness, managing schedules, or improving family routines.
In short, 8D is a practical framework that strengthens critical thinking and boosts efficiency.
