Scope and common interpretation errors
For supplier-customer problem reporting, not a claim of a completed Chengxin customer 8D case.
Simultaneous material, temperature and tooling changes can remove a symptom without identifying which mattered. Temporary sorting does not prove restored process stability.
Turn the review into recorded checks
| Step | Action and evidence |
|---|---|
| 1 · Keep original failure evidence | Record specimens, conditions, timing and evidence, separating facts from hypotheses. |
| 2 · Test the causal chain | Use controlled comparisons to reproduce or exclude causes and state limits when reproduction fails. |
| 3 · Check sustained effectiveness | Verify later confirmation lots and relevant processes before assigning closure responsibility and criteria. |
A comparison to avoid misinterpretation
If defects decline after both a material change and equipment maintenance, report both; do not attribute improvement solely to the new compound.
Frequently asked question
Does customer acceptance of a report prove practical effectiveness?
Document acceptance and sustained on-site results separately.
