In manufacturing, quality, and operations, recurring problems don’t just waste time—they drain profits, frustrate teams, and damage customer trust. Too often, “solutions” stop at blaming operator error or adding more training. But those fixes only scratch the surface.
This course shows you how to move beyond surface-level fixes by mastering Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and the 8D Problem Solving method—the same structured approach adopted by global leaders in automotive, aerospace, and beyond.
Whether you’re a quality engineer, production manager, supervisor, or operations leader, this course will give you the tools to identify true causes, eliminate defects, and prevent problems from coming back.
What You’ll Learn:
The 8 Disciplines (8D) of Problem Solving: A proven step-by-step framework
Root Cause Analysis techniques to uncover what’s really driving defects
How to separate symptoms from causes so you stop treating the wrong problem
Short- and long-term corrective actions that actually work
Prevention strategies to make solutions stick and reduce future risk
Team-based problem solving that creates ownership and lasting results
Practical Tools You’ll Get:
Downloadable 8D templates you can adapt for your organization
Case study practice to apply methods to real-world problems
Clear explanations—no jargon, no fluff
