Features

Currently in development e8Donline will be part of the broader iProgent™ software and robustly link to FMEA in the broader system. The e8d application can also operate as a stand alone tool.

e8D online will be a fully integrated online problem solving root cause analysis tool that will allow organisations to store the root cause problem solving data centrally and speed up the time to solution by organising the problem solving team through the 8D process and storing all data in a centrally accessible place.

e8D online will work through each of the 8 Disciplines to solve your problems at the root cause. The system is capable of storing all current and legacy problem solving projects and can focus each user on the actions they need to attend to to move the problem solving process forward.

e8D online allows users to be divided into an access categories for each problem solving exercise ensuring concentration on specific tasks and allowing an overall organisational view of the status of all outstanding problems.

e8D Functions will include:

• Master, Team Leader, Team Member access levels
• Storage for all problem solving projects
• Access to training modules at each level
• Online Help at each discipline
• The ability to filter all actions and projects
• Produce Problem Solving Reports
• Attach files to each discipline in each problem
• Templates and Checklists at each discipline
• Add and Edit requirements for each discipline
• Search problem database for similar or same problems
• Repeated Why
• Is Is Not Online Worksheet
• Decision Matrix
• Search ERA, ICA and PCA for data comparison
• Root Cause Theory Data Analysis
• Recommendation List
• Organisation User Access
• FAQ Questions
• ...and more

Benefit

The benefits of an 8D online system are:

• Simplified retrieval if information
• Clear actions for all personnel involved in either single or multiple problems
• All relevant documents and files attached to the 8D easily retrievable
• Ability for multiple departments to contribute at the same time
• Clear reporting on the status of ALL problems and the time required to solve them
• Immediate ability to see if problems have occurred in the past
• Full robustness with other tools when developed in the iProgent™ suite

Development

Development of the e8D Network Application is underway. A prototype is being built in asp with the view of a broader application being developed in .NET technologies to enable cloud based access and the use of multiple devices with the application. The e8D application is on the development list at Quality One and will be completed in the current development order. If you wish to expedite this development as there is an immediate need for this application at your organisation please contact Quality One

Cloud Access

e8D online will be part of a broader iProgent™ cloud based application that can run as a stand alone application or in integration with the broader APQP and iProgent™ robustness tool. Running with the broader tool will allow for:

• Searching FMEA effects of failure for 8D symptoms
• Updating FMEA with discovered root cause of failure
• Investigating known FMEA causes of failure against the symptom

Intranet Integration

Quality One can integrate the e8D application for your organisation on its intranet or develop an intranet that includes the e8D application. Quality One can set up a project for you that delivers the e8D application as a tool within your organisations tool set.

For more information on integrating e8D with your organisation's intranet please contact Quality One

Network Application

The option of e8D as a network application is also available through Quality One. If your organisation is interested in running e8D as a network application within your organisational network framework please contact Quality One to discuss your needs.
