8 Discipline or 8D Problem Solving

The video explains the Ford 8D or TOPS 8D problem-solving approach, which aims to identify and eliminate quality issues in operational processes. It emphasizes teamwork and synergy, proceeding through eight dimensions: establishing the team, defining the problem, implementing interim containment, identifying root causes, formulating corrective actions, implementing and validating these actions, securing them to prevent recurrence, and acknowledging team efforts.
