Event Description:
8D Problem Solving Workshop
UTCIS and the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce are hosting workshops across the state for continuing education. Join us for the 8D Problem Solving Workshop.
A Practical, Team-Based Approach to Root Cause Analysis
Organizations rely on fast, effective problem-solving to maintain quality, protect customers, and strengthen operational performance. The 8D Problem Solving method is one of the most widely used and respected frameworks for addressing recurring issues, identifying true root causes, and preventing problems from resurfacing.
This workshop provides a hands-on, structured introduction to the 8D process. It is designed for supervisors, engineers, leads, and cross-functional team members who want a clear, repeatable method for tackling complex issues. No previous technical problem-solving training is required—this is an accessible, step-by-step course that helps teams build confidence and competence using the 8D approach.
What You’ll Learn
Participants will explore all eight disciplines of the 8D methodology and learn how to apply each step to real-world manufacturing scenarios. The workshop emphasizes teamwork, data-driven decision-making, and practical tools that can be implemented immediately.
You will learn how to:
• Form and lead an effective cross-functional problem-solving team
• Describe problems clearly using facts, data, and measurable criteria
• Identify and verify true root causes—beyond symptoms
• Select and implement corrective actions that eliminate recurrence
• Use containment strategies to protect customers and operations
• Document your findings in a clear, professional 8D report
This workshop builds capability in systematic problem-solving and strengthens the organization’s ability to improve quality, reduce waste, and enhance long-term performance.
