8D Repor t
For the problem a customer saw: the eight disciplines of the Global 8D, from the first emergency response to the closing of the team's work. Contain within a day, find why it happened and why nobody caught it, prove the fix with data, and change the systems so it does not come back. Every discipline has its status and its date, and the days count against your target times.

Target times Calendar days from the opening date
The defaults are common practice in automotive and logistics quality: containment within 24 hours (D3 by the next day), the root cause within 10 days, the corrective actions within 14, implemented within 30, the report closed within 60. Use your customer's rules where they differ.

Your work
All your work in one file
Every tool keeps your work only in this browser. Save it as one file to keep a copy, to carry on from another phone or computer, or to hand it to a colleague. Nothing is uploaded.
Then clear old entries in these tools to make room: the file keeps them, and opens on any device.
Works offline too: once a tool has been opened on this device, it and the other tools of its role open without a connection.
Team sync Off
Share the tools you choose with your team: every device keeps working without a connection and syncs when it can. The work is encrypted on this device with a key made from the team code, so the server cannot read it.
Your team code
On another device, open this box and scan the code or type the six words under “Join a team”. Give it only to your team: whoever has it can read and change the shared work; for someone who should only look, make a read-only code instead. Write it down; it is not shown again.
Read-only: this device takes the team's work and sends nothing, so it can neither change nor delete the team's copy. Changes made here to the shared tools are not sent, and the next sync replaces them with the team's copy.
For someone who should see the team's work but not change it, such as a manager or a screen on the wall. It cannot change or delete anything.
When someone leaves the team: the work moves to a new code and the old copy is deleted. Every other device then joins again with the new code, and the old read-only codes stop working.
Read-only code
On the other device, open this box and scan the code or paste it under “Join a team”. Whoever has it can read the shared work, so give it only to people who may see it. It stops working when the team changes its code.

Print it or save it as PDF.→
- Root causes · 15 minFishbonePut the effect at the head and collect causes with the team on the 6M, 4P or hotel bones, each with its why. Votes and likely causes rank them, the likely ones become actions to verify, and the top one goes to 5 Whys or the causes to Pareto.→
- Risk · 30 minFMEAWrite down how each process step can fail, rate severity, occurrence and detection, and get the RPN and the AIAG-VDA action priority. A heat map, the top ten risks and the actions with owners until the re-rating shows the risk is gone.→
- Six Sigma · 10 minProcess LabPaste measurements and get the right control chart (I-MR, Xbar-R/S, np, c, u) with Nelson rules and before/after phases, Cpk, chi-square, regression and a Gage R&R or attribute agreement study. Every number in plain words.→
- Lean · 20 minTime StudyTime each element over five cycles with a stopwatch, space bar as the lap key. Get the standard time per station, takt from demand, a Yamazumi against it and the first element to move.→
- Lean · 30 minValue Stream MapMap one flow from supplier to customer with the pieces waiting between the steps. Get the lead-time ladder, PCE, takt and the bottleneck, then draw the future state and send its kaizen bursts to the Action Tracker.→
- Standard · 20 minStandard WorkOne job as a TWI breakdown: major steps, key points marked Safety, Quality, Technique or Cost, and a reason for each, with the time per step against the takt. Versions with change notes, print on A4, Word.→
