You provide the received 8D; the assistant reviews it against the D1-D8 grid — full containment, two-branch 5-Whys, systemic actions, proof of effectiveness — detects recurrences and drafts the requirements letter.
Team, full inventory containment, root cause for occurrence AND non-detection, owned and dated actions, read-across: nothing slips through.
'Operator retrained' is not a root cause. The assistant says so — with the arguments.
Provide a register, and repeat defects stand out: the real signal for the panel.
Claims, requirements, closure follow-ups: drafted, demanding on substance, clean in form.
Three supplier responses to review: the assistant does the first pass, you decide.
The same defect for the third time: the recurrence file that changes the tone of the discussion.
Proof of effectiveness required in writing before closing — Cpk included.
Contractual requirements, the D1-D8 grid, recurrences, closure on proof — assisted 8D reviews and letters hardened in the workshop.
Every trainee leaves with their reflexes and 7 days of access to the assistant, on their real files. Confidentiality is chosen by level — L1 · L2 · L3 explained here.
Bring a recently received 8D — even a good one. No commitment — and you leave with a usable analysis.
