When a customer finds your defect, the clock starts. DO.Impact runs the full D0–D8 discipline in one guided case — containment, root cause, corrective action and prevention — with evidence attached at every step.

Each discipline gets its own editor with the questions a customer quality engineer would ask. The case cannot jump ahead: containment is documented before root cause work opens, and corrective actions are verified before closure.
An 8D that ends in a PDF changes nothing. Root causes and corrective actions link back to PFMEA risk rankings and control plan actions, so the failure mode is re-scored and the control is actually strengthened.
You may have one quality engineer, not a department. The guided case carries the discipline for them — the team field, the deadlines, the recognition at D8 — so the answer to your customer reads like it came from a much larger organisation.
Corrective actions flow into the action tracker, and the improvement links to benefit tracking. The next management review shows what escapes cost and what the fixes returned — not just a count of closed 8Ds.
8D software digitises the eight disciplines used to close out customer complaints and major quality escapes: emergency response, team, problem description, containment, root cause, corrective actions, implementation, prevention and closure. DO.Impact gives each discipline its own editor with evidence, owners and dates.
Yes. Every 8D case walks through D0 emergency response, D1 team, D2 problem description, D3 containment, D4 root cause, D5 corrective actions, D6 implementation, D7 prevention and D8 close and recognise — with status tracked per discipline.
Yes. Root causes and corrective actions from an 8D connect back to PFMEA risk rankings and control plan actions, so the lessons from a customer escape actually change the process documents instead of living in a PDF attachment.
If you supply automotive or aerospace customers, 8D responses are often contractually required with tight deadlines. A guided 8D case means a small quality team answers with the same discipline as a large one — containment dates, root cause evidence and preventive actions all auditable.
Closed 8Ds stay searchable with their full history. The corrective actions feed the action tracker with owners and due dates, and completed improvements roll into benefit tracking so the saving is visible in the board report.
