8D Problem Solving System | Plant-Wide Quality Monitoring & Corrective Action

How can an enterprise grasp a sudden situation quickly, systematically, and thoroughly, without descending into panic and confusion! The outstanding system capabilities of MiDFUN COM keep enterprises from delaying abnormality handling because of improper procedures or insufficient information, and help establish a routine abnormality-flow management mechanism that turns abnormalities into the enterprise’s own knowledge and experience. Combined with BKM (FMEA, CP), it creates the enterprise’s competitiveness for the next decade and lays the foundation for sustained innovation strength and a superior production-process quality-management capability.  

The Monitor module of COM — plant-wide quality monitoring with an electronic dashboard and war room

MiDFUN provides a real-time monitoring message dashboard. Through a video wall or monitoring computers, you can grasp the quality status of the entire plant and issue warnings the moment they arise, avoiding the failing of “after-the-fact quality control” in which problems cannot be handled in time once they have already occurred. This module provides the following key capabilities:  

Plant-wide SPC quality-system linking capability

It can link with MiDFUN’s plant-wide SPC system to consolidate OOS/OOC abnormality lists and connect directly to on-site inspection stations, providing a solution for managers who cannot inspect every plant area through management-by-walking-around.  

News-style announcement board

For announcing major plant-area messages, this system can achieve the effect of the marquee tickers of the past, giving plant-area information one more channel for dissemination.  

Automatic timed rotation of the dashboard display

Rotating chart windows continually remind each production unit of its KPI tasks, fostering a sense of pride in quality and production efficiency among the plant’s workforce.  

Diverse monitoring display screens

Simulated graphical dashboards of the production floor, dashboards of inspection stations in operation, enhanced monitoring of key control items, multi-level linked graphical views of parent-child groups, and a consolidated, categorized dashboard of abnormality messages.  

Proactive alerts for abnormalities at monitoring points

For every control point on the electronic dashboard, it provides proactive color and message warnings, so that the occurrence of an abnormality is not overlooked.  

The 8DCAR and OCAP module of COM — abnormality handling and corrective-action flow management

Full-version real-time abnormality monitoring, with real-time chart control of abnormality-handling progress Rigorous review-operation procedures, with overdue-warning and signature-reminder capabilities A complete abnormality-message input platform for SPC OOS／OOC and every type of abnormality form (in-plant, customer complaint, incoming material) Abnormality-cause definition and interim countermeasures, plus an RCA (Root Cause Analysis) corrective knowledge and experience base Abnormality-occurrence frequency control, and abnormality-cause traceability with chart-based analysis Proactive follow-up reminders for the relevant handling personnel, plus TAT (Total Action Time) CAR／8D efficiency analysis 8D／CAR abnormality-handling procedures, and CLCA quality-improvement actions Intelligent chart analysis, and KPI improvement-performance verification  

The ACP module of COM — a platform for linking abnormality-handling experience

Through OCAP (RCA) abnormality handling and CAR／8D abnormality correction, the COM system builds important know-how for the enterprise. Using the ACP module, this distilled essence is linked to FMEA to build a managed knowledge base, turning abnormality-handling experience into a valuable source of corporate management knowledge, and then taking the further step of adjusting the Control Plan and SIP to prevent problems from recurring. COM gives enterprises a guiding direction for something they want to do but do not know how to begin. 1. Consolidate the recurrence counts of abnormality forms and analyze the S.O.D RPN risk index, as preparatory work for FMEA 2. Notify relevant FMEA documents of version updates during the handling process of the 8DCAR module 3. Cross-system linking with FMEA, transmitting 8D/CAR corrective-handling items to build a failure-experience base 4. All of the above procedures and knowledge can, through the MiDFUN system, systematically pass abnormality-handling experience down within the enterprise for repeated application, continually improving and refining
