Deere found 37 cracked brackets from lot 4471. Welder 2's heat was off.
Got it. I filled in D2 and the header. One thing customers always ask: why didn't final inspection catch the cracks?

D4 Root cause and escape point

Occurrence. Weld current on welder 2 ran above specification.

Escape point. Weld depth checked once per shift; the affected run fell between checks.

How it works

  1. Drop in the complaint

    Upload the SCAR, NCR, photos or test data. Root8 pulls out the part, lots, quantities and dates and writes the header for you.

  2. Answer what it asks

    It asks one or two questions at a time, in plain words. Type or talk. It never fills in a fact you didn't give it.

  3. Check it, then send it

    Before you export, Root8 checks the gaps customers push back on: a missing escape point, training-only fixes, no validation data. Export to Word or PDF.

Built on each customer's own rules
