8D report
Also known as: 8 disciplines, 8D problem solving.
An 8D report is a structured, eight-step problem-solving method (D1–D8) used in manufacturing quality to isolate, contain, resolve, and prevent recurrence of a non-conformance, typically in response to a customer complaint.
In depth
The 8D method frames a problem as a disciplined sequence: build the team (D1), describe the problem (D2), contain the issue (D3), identify the root cause (D4), choose a permanent corrective action (D5), implement and verify it (D6), prevent recurrence (D7), and recognize the team (D8). It is widely used in automotive and aerospace supply chains. Azumuta supports 8D via its CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Action) module, linking each step to the underlying non-conformance, work instructions, and training records.
