Custom Labels

Create your own labels for all the traceable fields. Every company uses their particular language. 8D Manager lets you take your language and apply them to the traceable fields. Your traceability will transfer to all the reports and forms. You can also change the names of the action fields too. For example, you can change the action field "D3 Containment" to "Isolation"

With the customized labels, you can add your company's name. For your formal Quality Management System, you can add document numbers, revisions and dates.

By tracking action costs with codes, you assign responsible areas such as department, employees, equipment, and materials. You decide on the codes. With these charts you can quickly tell where to focus continual improvements.

5Y Reports

Each corrective action report can have its own 5Y report. Many customers ask for a 5Y report which narrows the possible root causes to the primary root cause. On each report, you can break down the 5Y categories by...

  • Predict-Protect-Prevent
  • Problem-Containment-System

With a click, you can insert any of the 5Y root causes into the root cause section of corrective action report. For the primary 5Y root cause, you can assign a corrective action item in the 5Y report, and this will transfer to the corrective action section of the corrective action report.

4M Reports

Each corrective action report can have its own 4M report. Use the 4M report to investigate root causes and corrective actions. If your customer requires a Fishbone Diagram, use this. The 4M report works like a Fishbone Diagram, but it is much easier to read and understand.

The 4M report lets you track and investigate possible root causes by...

  • Human
  • Machine
  • Method
  • Material

With a click from within the 4M report, you can insert any of the investigation's results into the corrective action report for either the root cause or corrective action sections.
