D1 TEAM MEMBER NAMES/TITLES: D2 PROBLEM STATEMENT/DESCRIPTION (quantify) (one defect per 8D)
Champion:
What are the symptoms that the customer is seeing? Specify the internal/external customer problems
Team Leader: by identifying in quantifiable terms who, what, when, where, why, how, how many (5W2H) of the
Team Members: problem.

Target Actual
D3 CHOOSE AND VERIFY INTERIM CONTAINMENT ACTION(S) (ICA): Date: Date:

Define and implement containment actions to isolate the problem from any internal/external customer until permanent
corrective action is available. Verify the effectiveness of the action. The ICA is a type of 'Band-Aid' used to protect the
customer until the root cause is determined and the permanent correction can be implemented.

HOW DID YOU VERIFY THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE ICA?

How can you recreate the problem - prove this with test results and other documentation.

D4 DEFINE AND VERIFY ROOT CAUSE(S):

Identify all potential causes (due to a change) which could explain why the problem occurred. Isolate and verify the Root Cause by testing
each potential cause against the problem description and test data (does it explain the IS,IS/NOT'S in D2?). Identify alternative corrective
actions to eliminate root cause.

HOW DID YOU VERIFY THE ROOT CAUSE(S)?

How can you recreate the problem - prove this with test results and other documentation.

D5 CHOOSE AND VERIFY PERMANENT CORRECTIVE ACTION(S) (PCA):

Through pre-production test programs, quantitatively confirm that the selected corrective actions will resolve the problems for the customer
and will not cause undesirable side effects. Define contingency action, if necessary based on the risk assessments. This step describes
WHAT you will do.

HOW DID YOU VERIFY THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PCA?:

How can you recreate the problem - prove this with test results and other documentation.

Target Actual
D6 IMPLEMENT AND VALIDATE PERMANENT CORRECTIVE ACTION(S) (PCA): Date: Date:

Define and implement the best permanent corrective actions. Include the removal of the ICA. Choose on-going controls to ensure the root
cause is eliminated. Once in production, monitor and evaluate the long-term effects and implement contingency actions, if necessary. This
step describes HOW you will do it.

HOW WILL YOU VALIDATE THE PCA?

Use validation tools for long term results: Trend - Pareto - Paynter, etc.

D7 SYSTEM PREVENTION ACTIONS TO PREVENT RECURRENCE: Target Actual

Mistake Proofing: How are you going to ensure it can't happen again? Date: Date:

Modify the management systems, operating systems, practices and procedures to prevent recurrence of this and all similar problems.
(What is the "Escape Root Cause"? What in your system allowed this problem or any problem from leaving your plant and not getting
detected?). Choose on-going controls, including mistake proofing methodology, such as the use of process or design features to prevent
manufacture of nonconforming product/service. Review control plans, FMEA's, flowcharts, etc. for revisions.

Note: Develop Action Plan (can use worksheets to help brainstorm)

HAS CORRECTIVE ACTION/IMPLEMENTATION BEEN REVIEWED AGAINST DOCUMENTS?:
