What is 8D
8D is a structured corrective action process; 8D stands for the Eight
Disciplines of Problem Solving
Root Cause Analysis(RCA) is an integral part of the 8D process
This session will:
Define 8D
Demonstrate 8D process
Train in Root Cause Analysis (5 Whys)

Objectives of this training:


You will become familiar with the 8D steps
You will become more proficient at Root Cause Analysis using 5 Whys

2013 Eaton, All Rights Reserved.

Vocabulary
Containment Actions taken to isolate the problem from any internal/external
customer. Usually expected to be completed within a 24hr 48 hour period.
Corrective Action The action taken to eliminate the cause of the
nonconformity.
Error proofing When a process is designed to prevent an error from
occurring.
Preventive Action The action that is taken to eliminate conditions that could
produce a nonconformity.
Root Cause At its simplest form, you can turn off and on the problem in a
controlled environment. The root cause should explain 100% of the unwanted
problem/defect and that there are no additional reasons that the problem exists.

2013 Eaton, All Rights Reserved.

Definition Preventive Action


Preventive Action is the action taken to eliminate the conditions that could
produce a nonconformity.

Kaizen events, FMEAs, 6S events and similar activities


are types of preventive actions.

This training session will not cover Preventive actions as defined above, but
the concept of Preventing recurrence is a key part of the Corrective Action
process.

In Corrective Action, the money is already gone, Preventive


Action gives you the opportunity to salvage some of it.

8D Eight Disciplines to Problem Solving


8D, which was initiated in the automotive industry, is a structured problem
solving method for product and process improvement.
8D is short for 8 Disciplines
The steps do not all start with D
8D is structured in 8 steps and emphasizes
Team problem solving
Fords Team Oriented Problem Solving (TOPS) systems was the precursor to
8D

Team work and not skipping steps is critical!!!

D1 Establish The Team

Additional tabs are available in the form for reference

2013 Eaton, All Rights Reserved.

14

8D Establish Team (D#1)

Typically the Quality Manager will assign the person


responsible to lead the corrective action. That Team
Leader will then select the team members.

The Team should include all functions with


knowledge of the problem (including process
owner).

Team Leader or Quality Manager should train team


members as needed, but leading the team through
the process is the best form of training.

8D Define Problem (D#2)


Problem Definition is a positive statement
that describes the pain
Good Definition is critical to determining Root Cause
Answers 4W2H Who, What, When, Where, How, How Many
Why is not part of Problem Definition (this is answered in Root Cause
Analysis - RCA)
Good Definition does not place blame
Avoids suggesting solutions (Problem happened due to, or Lack of
adhesive resulted in)

Define what is or what is not

2013 Eaton, All Rights Reserved.

20

8D Problem Definition (D#2)


Take the time to clearly define the problem, with facts.
Good Problem Definition is the springboard to asking the
right questions on RCA (Why, Why, Why,)
Poor Problem Definition leads to symptom resolution
rather than Root Cause Solution
Is/Is Not is a good method for Clear and Concise
Problem Definitions.
If lack of, insufficient, due to are in your Problem
Definitionyour team is in trouble!

21

8D Problem Definitions: Good or Bad?


Lack of parts caused 10% miss in sales for May.
Bad Assumes cause of problem

Marketing delays caused projects to be 2 months


overdue on average.
Bad Places blame and assumes cause

Impulse test coil failures for all 3 phase transformers at


Badger Dr increased from 10,000 ppm in Q1 to 15,000
ppm in Q2.

Containing the problem and Protecting the Customer must
occur immediately. 24hrs is the industry norm for
containment actions to take place. Max of 48.
Determine the scope (time period, material lot numbers,
parts affected, etc)
Production and/or Shipping Hold to be implemented
8D system is used to report/track Holds and Containments

28

Definition - Containment
Containment is the systematic search and
quarantine of suspected nonconforming product
throughout the supply/delivery chain. (Warehouse,
in process shelves, supplier stock, ) Make sure
you get it all.
In our Containment step we also include a process
to determine if its necessary to notify customers in
the form of a recall, advisory or other
communication.

Did you get all of them?

2013 Eaton, All Rights Reserved.

29

Definition - Containment
Containment is more than just getting all the
current product contained.
This step also includes what used to be called
Short Term Corrective Action.
This could be sorting, layered inspection or rework.
Make sure that implementation of the containment
action will not create other problems? i.e., part
shortages or unchecked rework.
It also has to last until the permanent Corrective
Action is in place.

What can you do until the Permanent Corrective Action is in place?

D3 Checklist
D3: Contain the Problem
Checklist:
What containment actions have been identified? (For Parts in stock, Parts In
transit, Parts at the supplier location, Parts in process at the operators work
station, Parts at the Customer location)
Have all quantities been accounted for and quarantined until disposition can
be made? (BE CAREFUL that they do not end up back in stock)
Have we ensured that implementation of the containment action will not
create other problems? i.e. part shortages, unchecked rework.
Will interim actions last long enough until the Corrective Actions are in
place?
Are responsibilities for containment actions clear?
When will the containment actions be complete?
Have the containment actions been documented?
Do we have the right team members to proceed to the next step?

Detection and Occurrence


When identifying root cause the team should focus on why the issue
occurred first, and then secondly on how the defect was missed.
Therefore you do your 5 Why analysis on both pieces of the failure mode.

Ask: How was it missed?


Why? .
Why? .

8D Root Cause Analysis (RCA)


The CPSD SCA form includes a 5Why analysis
template as well as Brainstorming and
Cause/Effect diagrams.
Other techniques (Process Map, DOE, Anova, Pareto,
etc.) are also tools to aid in RCA.
The CPSD 8D process includes SCA for:
Occurrence (Why did the problem occur?)
Detection (Why did the problem escape detection?)

Acronyms:
CPSD Cooper Power Systems Division
SCA Supplier Corrective Action
DOE Design of Experiments
ANOVA Analysis of Variance
RCA Root Cause Analysis

2013 Eaton, All Rights Reserved.

38

8D Root Cause Analysis (D#4)


There are many techniques to determine Root
Cause
Asking Why? 5 times is the simplest and most
powerful RCA technique.
This is a simple process that is frequently done
poorly.
The first Why starts directly from the Problem
Definition: Why did the problem occur as
stated?
Each Why follows directly from the previous
response.
Keep asking! Dont skip questions, 5 Is typical.

2013 Eaton, All Rights Reserved.

39

8D Root Cause Analysis (D#4)


RCA is the Heart and Soul of the Corrective Action
process
There may be multiple contributing causes but there is
only one
True Root Cause
Actions should be taken to address the contributing
causes if appropriate
But; The Root Cause must be eliminated
or
the problem will return!

2013 Eaton, All Rights Reserved.

40

Definition Root Cause (RC)


The Root Cause is the most basic reason for a problem or
defect. If this cause is eliminated, the problem would
not occur.
If the cause of a problem is operator error, thats not the
real Root Cause. The Root Cause is more likely that the
process is not Error Proofed.
Corrective Actions must address the Root Cause if the
problem is to be eliminated.

You will know it is the Root Cause if you can turn the problem off and on

2013 Eaton, All Rights Reserved.

41

Root Cause
Immediate causes are NOT root causes. Typical immediate
causes you may see on Corrective Action reports are:
Operator Error
Failure to Follow Procedures/work instructions
Inspection not recorded by the operator
Gage Not turned in for calibration
Operator not trained
Inadvertent omission

These are NOT root causes, they may be a contributing cause but not the
true root cause!

2013 Eaton, All Rights Reserved.

42

Root Cause
Root causes are weaknesses (ineffective
processes or controls) in the system that cause
or allow (fail to prevent) errors and
nonconformance's.
Effective corrective action will PREVENT
recurrence or REDUCE THE FREQUENCY of
occurrence.

2013 Eaton, All Rights Reserved.

43

Root Cause
Corrective Action that addresses only the
immediate cause will NOT prevent recurrence.
Example:

Nonconformance: Functional gage past due for


calibration.
Immediate cause: Quality Assurance did not
calibrate the gage before the due date.
Corrective Action: Calibrate the functional gage
(fixes the immediate problem only)

What are the two areas of the Problem that
the team wants to focus on during RCA?
A.
B.
C.

Detection and Occurrence


Severity and Occurrence
Detection and Severity

The correct answer is a Detection and Occurrence. Why did


the issue occur and why was it not detected.

Check your knowledge


All of the following are examples of
immediate root causes except?
A.
B.
C.
D.

Operator Error
Failure to Follow Work Instructions
Use of expired material
Gage missing calibration sticker

The correct answer is C Use of expired material may be an


actual root cause or the final why of the 5Whys assessment.
The other items are symptoms of a systemic issue.

5 Whys
If you continue to ask Why? you will discover the
systemic problem, rather than being satisfied with fixing
a symptom. Symptoms that come from contributing
causes

Review 5 Why
example

2013 Eaton, All Rights Reserved.

48

The 5 Whys
The stone on the Jefferson Memorial was crumbling

Why #1: Why was it crumbling?


Frequent washings were weakening the stone.

Why #2: Why was it washed so often?


To remove the bird droppings.

Why #3: Why are there so many bird droppings?


Birds were eating the abundant spiders there.

Why #4: Why were there so many spiders?


Spiders were attracted to all the midges.

Why #5: So why were there so many midges?


Every evening at dusk, midges emerge in a mating frenzy. At
this same time, Park Services turns on its spotlights, which
attracted all of the midges.

Solution: Delay turning on the spot lights until one hour after
sunset, by which time midge population is down 90%. By doing
this, the food chain is broken and less frequent washings are
required.

2013 Eaton, All Rights Reserved.

49

5 Why
5 WHYS? Analysis
5 Whys? Analysis consists of team members identifying a possible root cause by asking Why? until the root cause is
uncovered. It may take more or less than five Whys? To get to the Root Cause: Five is typical in most cases.

Lets consider the gage calibration nonconformance illustrated on the CA and Root Cause tab:
Nonconformance: Functional gage past due for calibration
Why?

Gage Tech did not calibrate the gage before the due date.

Why?

Gage didnt show up on the gage recall list

Why?

Calibration interval was not entered on the gage master record

Why?

Why?

a.) Gage Tech didnt know the interval when the gage was
the master list
b.) Gage Tech didnt follow up to enter the interval later.

entered in

GageTrak does not force entry of the interval when entering gages in
the master list

Now that a possible Root Cause has been identified, generate a solution, implement it and check for proof that its effective.

2013 Eaton, All Rights Reserved.

50

5 Why Summary
What if the team does not identify the Root Cause?
Possibly the problem was not defined well.
Possibly working on symptoms instead of the real problem
(problem definition!)
Possibly some of the facts are not true confirm with data.
Possibly the team doesnt include the right people to fully
understand the problem.
Possibly skipped a step or two, missing critical information
better to take baby steps.

51

How to get to the 5 Why if your not sure


you have only one

Gather your team, identify the possible causes, select Top 3

52

Now break out the 5 Why

Use one 5 Why worksheet


for each of the top 3
suspect causes

2013 Eaton, All Rights Reserved.

53

5 Why Review
Each response needs to be confirmed with data:
Run experiments to confirm that the teams response to each
why is accurate.
Dont allow a dominant team member to state a fact without
confirming it.

Read the why responses from the bottom to the top of


the problem statement linking them with therefore.
All responses should link logically backwards with the word
therefore.

What sources/methods have been used to determine root cause?


Are all the potential caused listed in case at a future date you
need to refer back to them.
Can the root cause explain all we know about the problem
description?
Can the root cause be turned off and on?

to identify root cause? (Check all that apply)
A.
B.
C.
D.

Facts are not true or unconfirmed


Problem statement not well defined
Working on symptoms only
All of the above

The correct answer is D All of the above. The problem


description needs to be accurately defined or the team can go
down the wrong path. One dominant team member may state
authoritatively facts that remain unconfirmed, leading the
team to work on symptoms such as operator error or training,
rather than getting to the systemic issue in play.

How to you know when you have reached
true root cause? (Check all that apply)
A.
B.
C.
D.

Operator at fault has been named


Problem can be turned on and off
The selected cause explains all we know about the
issue
The issue cannot be recreated

The correct answer is B and C Root cause is looking for the


reason the event occurs, and when found you should be able to
turn the problem on and off , thus explaining all we know about
the issue.

8D Corrective Action (D#5)


Once the Root Cause is found its usually clear
what the Corrective Action needs to be.
The Corrective Action must address the Root
Cause!!!
There may be multiple Corrective Actions and
some actions may address Contributing Causes
this will make your solution more robust in
case other factors change in the future.
Corrective Action for the problem itself
(Occurrence) plus the Detection issues need to
be implemented to address the full dimension of
the issue.

Closing contributing actions is a good thing!

2013 Eaton, All Rights Reserved.

62

Error Proofing
Error Proofing comes from a
Japanese term Poka Yoke.
True Corrective Actions result in
Error Proofing in the Process or
Design to prevent similar problems.
Successive layer Detection
(Inspection) is a form of error
proofing.

2013 Eaton, All Rights Reserved.

63

8D Corrective Action (D#5)


Error Proofing the process will accomplish both
Corrective Action for the problem Occurrence and
Corrective Action for Detection.
Error Proofing is an important tool that justifies a separate
training session.
If Retrained the Operators is the Corrective Action, the
team hasnt really found the Root Cause and hasnt
implemented a Corrective Action that will prevent
recurrence.

Operator Error is not a true root cause!

Its necessary that we maintain the gain
The Corrective Action has to address the Root Cause, so its important
that a follow up audit verifies that the Root Cause was eliminated!
Someone with a vested interest who was not part of the Corrective
Action team is chosen by the Quality Manager to follow up.
In some cases verification should be done soon after implementation
and again after several weeks to verify that the change really is
permanent.

Make sure its working long term, not just once!

8D Prevent Recurrence & Share the


Solution (D#7)
Addressing the Systemic issues is key to Preventing Recurrence (usually
the 5th Why reveals the systemic problem) Follow up. i.e. did the
implementation of the corrective action require any changes to other
documents such as work instructions or control plans? Is the corrective
action sustaining?
We need to share these best practice solutions, so others can learn from
our work.
Our 8D includes a systemic action section as part of the CA close out
process this is a part of the Solution Sharing and Prevention
process.
We need to continue developing means to share best practices

Others can learn from our work, share the information!
