Case summary for the application of the 8D methodology

AUTHORSNAME OF AN ORGANISATIONBENEFITS OF IMPLEMENTING THE 8D METHODOLOGY
Behrens, B.-A., Wilde, I. and Hoffmann, M., 2007; Rambaud 2006Ford & SuppliersThe 8D methodology started with the Powertrain Organisation of the Ford Group. With benefits seen from the team-oriented problem solving (TOPS), it was rolled out business-wide. Soon entire Ford supply chain, including suppliers, were using the 8D framework
Whitfield, R. C. and Kwok, K.-M., 1996Hongkong based Electronics companyImproving the quality of the Integrated assembly line using Ford's 8D methodology. Highlights the benefits of highly focused approach with simple analytical tools of 8D in achieving considerable benefits in a short time
Saidin, W.A.N.W., Ibrahim, A.M., Azir, M Ngah, H., Noor N.M. and M.H Norhidayah., 2014Automotive Company (Trim Line)Significant reduction in defect rate of the highest failure on Trim area resulting in financial gains. 8D offers an essential solution from identifying the root cause until the implementation of preventive action. Quick turnaround time and easy to implement the methodology
