Description

This problem solving for IATF 16949 course helps companies prepare themselves to meet the requirements of the standard. It’s a practical approach to problem-solving that focuses on empowering employees with the knowledge of how to address issues.

The term ‘8D’ is commonplace in engineering and manufacturing organisations these days. However, IATF 16949 does not mandate ‘8D’,and organisations tend to focus more on the ‘8’ than the ‘D’.

The ‘D’ stands for ‘disciplines’ and throughout the two-day course we will continue to emphasise that having the organisational discipline to follow the steps, is as important at as the steps themselves.
