Definitions
Root Cause: The very basic reason why, how, & when the condition occurred.
A Root Cause Mentality: An insatiable desire to understand why things go wrong, why people do what they do, and how things got into their present state. (C. Robert Nelms)
This takes persistence

Interim Containment Action: This is the action taken which should address and correct the actual nonconforming condition. Permanent Corrective Action: This should address the root cause of a nonconformance and prevent future occurrences of the problem which caused the nonconformance. Contributing Cause: This factor contributed to the problem, but it is not the root cause. Keep going to get to Root Cause. Verification: Making sure that something is going to work prior to implementation. Validation: Checking to make sure that the change is working (after implementation)
Training Materials For Reference Only Slide 5

More on Root Cause


Root Cause / Corrective Action (RCCA) is: A systematic approach to effectively identify the cause chain of a nonconformance and to permanently eliminate the source(s) of problems. Directed at reducing, and if possible eliminating, quality system escapes and the costs associated with poor quality.

Slide 6

Origin of HBCs 8D Process


8D (8 Disciplines) first standardized by the U.S. government during World War 2
Military Standard 1520: Corrective action and disposition system for nonconforming material

Popularized by Ford Motor Company in the 1960s and 1970s (called Global 8D or G8D) 8D now a standard in the Auto Industry 8D fills a void we currently have at HBC
We reference root cause (internally, with our suppliers and customers)
BUT, we dont provide a standard process to get to root cause

HBC 8D a Structured Process (and Tool Set) for Root Cause Corrective Action
Training Materials For Reference Only Slide 7

HBPS Initiative Positioning


Goal solve the problem
Smooth land (drain the lake, remove boulders) No leaks in the boats (rental income while lake is here)

Pick the best fit methodology


Drain the lake (remove waste) use LEAN Six Sigma Remove boulders (variation reduction) use Lean SIX SIGMA Leaks (immediate problems that must be fixed) use HBC 8D

Use the right tools for the job


Common tools will be used by all methodologies
This Analogy: Bucket can be used to empty the lake, remove rubble, and bail out the boat

In general, Lean Six Sigma projects take longer; 8D is for everyday, immediate problems.

Slide 13

What can trigger an 8D analysis?


Problem with Cause Unknown Need to Cure - Not Mask Problem Justifies a Structured/Team Approach
Factors Severity, Cost, Time, etc.
When do we use the 8D Process?

Examples:

Whenever you open a QN, ask yourself if Root Cause/8D should be done.
Training Materials For Reference Only Slide 14

Who can initiate an 8D analysis?


Request for an 8D analysis can be made by:
Customer
Current Sales/Support Interface

HBC Employee
Initially, by contacting QA reps Eventually, anyone
Working out details defining when it makes sense Not all problems need an 8D level of analysis

HBC Supply Chain


Supplier will perform the 8D

Management

Anyone can use the process. Using SAP makes sure we capture/share knowledge.

D-0 Decide to use the 8D Process

D-1 DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM


Why is it important for a Problem Solving team to start with Describe the Problem?

Training Materials For Reference Only

Slide 16

8D Step 1 Describe the Problem


What is the problem? This should be a short, simple and concise definition. REMEMBER: IF YOU CANNOT SAY IT SIMPLY, YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM
A problem well stated is a problem half solved!

Training Materials For Reference Only

Slide 17

Information about the problem

What is the problem? Where was it detected? How serious is the problem? How many occurrences? Who is affected? When did it surface?

Remember:

on the problem.

Training Materials For Reference Only

Slide 18

Problem Definition/Analysis Prompts Who?


Who notified you of the problem? - Manufacturing, Engineering, SAP QN Review, QA Audit, etc. Who are the people involved with the problem? (for step 2 team formation) - Supplier, customer, material handlers, assemblers, supervisors, engineers, QA personnel, etc.

High Level information belongs in the Problem Description, Investigate all others in Step 3 & 4.
Training Materials For Reference Only Slide 19

Problem Definition/Analysis Prompts What?


What is the part name/number/other identification? What type of product or process? - Detail, assembly, vendor part - Part manufacturing process, assembly process? What is the type of nonconformance? - Scratch, Dent, Oversize hole, Fit? - Lack of communication, waiting too long for info/parts? What characteristic of the part/process is having the failure - hole radius, linear dimension? - manufacture of the part, movement, inspection? What method of measurement was used to identify the failure? What are special circumstances surrounding the problem? - new personnel, equipment move, new tool, etc.? What environmental conditions existed? - extremely cold/hot, rainy, humidity, lighting, etc.? What is the design/nonconformance criteria in question? - Drawing, Spec, Task Planning, Policy, Process? What training has been done or is available? What hardware or software is associated with the issue? Have there been recent administrative, program or equipment changes?
Training Materials For Reference Only Slide 20

Problem Definition/Analysis Prompts When?


When in the build process/production schedule/work shift did the problem occur? - note: occurrence point and detection point may (and usually arent) at the same time When in the task did the problem occur? (what step?) When in the functional test did the problem occur (what step?) When in the day, week, month did it/has it occurred (patterns)?

Training Materials For Reference Only

Slide 21

Problem Definition/Analysis Prompts Where?


Where is the part being contained? Where is the part being used? Where is the geographical location of the failure? What plant/line/station cell? Is the problem in-house or external (supplier) or external (in the field)? Where are similar nonconformance records located?

Training Materials For Reference Only

Slide 22

Problem Definition/Analysis Prompts Impact?


How many times and in what period? Cost of nonconformance in dollars? Safety impact? Cost of delay? Warranty cost? Impact to worker morale/productivity? Has this issue been fixed before? Impact on Business processes? - production - delivery - product use - field reliability Impact on Customer Satisfaction?

Slide 23

Importance of Problem Description

Focuses team on same objective Direction set here is used throughout the HBC 8D process (foundation) Forces all to agree on the scope and goal Note: Operational Definitions MUST accompany the Problem Description
What does failure mean? What is bad? What does success look like?

Test feasibility of the containment action (Verify it will work) Commit to it Implement Validate containment action effectiveness

Action Plan

ALWAYS +s and s to every decision. BALANCE (and action) are the Keys!
Training Materials For Reference Only Slide 36

Purpose of Interim Containment


Used to buy time to find root cause while protecting your customer (external or downstream operation) from the problem Authorized first aid, but. . . . .
can be costly attacks symptoms (not the cause) has a masking effect

Purpose of this step:


Enforce SCOPE and EFFECTIVENESS of customer protection needed
Its OK to not have containment, its NOT OK to not THINK about it.

Key Points of Step 3: Interim Containment


Act quickly (and carefully) Use the team to come up with the list of potential actions
Minimizes risk, results in better ideas

Pick the best overall Containment Action(s) Consider actions that may be needed to address other areas:
Product in the field WIP Work In Process Product in transit/at the Supplier Spares

Use Action Plan to make sure nothing falls through the cracks

General Information about Step 4


OUR DESIRE TO ACT, OVERPOWERS OUR NEED TO UNDERSTAND
(Brad Baker, CONOCO)

Dont try to do solutions before the analysis is complete. It is futile to continue doing things the same way while expecting different results. Dont fall into the trap of jumping to conclusions.

This cant be a part time job. Assign a Point Of Contact (POC) to focus on closure. The RCCA response ECD must be based on a planned list of things to do (Action Item Lists).

Data Collection
Insufficient data can result in solving only the specific instance. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Types of data to collect: Location: where problem was detected Personnel: who found problem Specifications: what are the requirements Environment: noise, lighting, temperature, etc Sequence of events Challenge the basis for why its been Equipment determined to be an isolated event and why it couldnt potentially be a Training systemic problem Other occurrences Recent changes: personnel, process, weather

Slide 46

Tools: Thought Map


Once the problem is defined, natural tendency is to rush forward RESIST THE URGE!! Take a few minutes to plan your journey to root cause 1) 2) Write your Problem Statement at the top of the page Capture questions that you have
Assumptions, potential causes, sources of the problem that dont belong in the problem statement SHOULD be captured as questions

3) 4) 5)

Answer each question with data Questions (and data) will lead to more questions Capture dead-ends as well as fruitful paths
1) Why?

Peel the onion- challenge the basis for root cause. Most people can only support 1-2 layers of questions with their basis for root cause or corrective action.

Why? There was oil on the floor. Why? The machine in that cell was leaking oil. Why? A pressure fitting on the machine failed. Why? Inspection of hoses and fittings is not part of the preventive maintenance (PM) schedule. Why? The PM system does not consider Equipment Manufacturers recommendations to develop PM schedules. Why?- Theres check to make sure this is done.

Pareto Chart (80/20 rule)


Used when many problems or causes and you want to focus on the most significant Causes on x-axis, Results on the left (primary) yaxis, Cumulative % on the right (secondary) yaxis.

Scatter Diagram
Used to illustrate relationships between 2 variables. 1 variable on each axis. "Correlation does not imply causality."
Ex. Shark Bites and Ice Cream

Purpose of Graphical Analysis: ________________________________


Training Materials For Reference Only Slide 54

Word of Caution: Stay on Track!


Use Common Sense:
1. The more significant or involved the problem, the more detail may be needed to identify the Root Cause
1. Also more advanced tools
Side Issue Side Issue Side Issue

Goal

2.

Avoid data that leads to other problems.


1. Dont get sidetracked
1. Review Step 1 Problem Description. Start

2. Use the Thought Map


Complex problems usually require at least a fishbone diagram of the potential root causes sorted from the brainstorm list Define the actions to validate or dismiss each one Technical problems usually require a structured FMEA

Slide 60

Goals of Permanent Corrective Action


Permanent Corrective Action MUST:
Address the systemic problem (in addition to this specific instance) Eliminate the Root Cause Prevent recurrence Be implemented in a timely manner Include a detailed plan (especially if it will take considerable time and people) Be comparable to the risk involved
Risk to the customer, employee, organization, public, etc.

Be verified Objectively
Three knowledgeable people must agree
