The Eight-Disciplines Problem Solving Technique (or 8D) was developed by the Ford Motor Company and is commonly used by the automotive industry. It provides a systematic and effective approach to solve a problem, and promotes the use of expertise and experience within an organization to address the root cause.

The eight disciplines within 8D can be easily applied by all levels within any organization, and at the same time, provide a documented database of improvements.
