Online workshop: 8D methodology for action management

Online Workshop

Effective management of actions is crucial for an organization that wants to strengthen its competitive advantage in times of increasing market demands. We encounter actions at different levels of operation, but the need to find the real causes of identified deviations quickly and efficiently, and to eliminate them in such a way that they no longer occur, is common to all of them. The 8D method is a simple and effective approach to this type of problem. In a systematic way and with teamwork, it helps solve the problems we face daily in our work.

Purpose

At the workshop, you will learn how the 8D method can eliminate long-term problems and, above all, prevent their recurrence. On concrete examples from practice and through mutual exchange of opinions and experiences, you will learn about appropriate approaches, the importance of teamwork, and the necessary steps for taking appropriate actions.
