8D flow tailored for welding
Start with containment and evidence. In the HeatCore QMS workflow, a nonconformity automatically links the weld ID, station, timestamps, and inspection frames. D2–D4 run faster with hard facts; D5–D6 apply process limits and checklists; D7 verifies with live SPC; D8 shares lessons.
Pareto and 5‑Why, backed by evidence
Use a Pareto to focus on the vital few defect modes. See what happens when a weld goes wrong and how the data exposes the root cause. Then 5‑Why with concrete data—cooling rates, travel speed, wire feed, operator changes—so your cause isn’t guesswork.
Verify effectiveness with production data
Close CAPA only when the process sustains. In the HeatCore QMS workflow, effectiveness is tied to SPC: the system watches for limit breaks or alarms for a defined horizon and reopens the CAPA if needed. The live SPC data comes from the HeatCore monitoring products on the line.
