Product Line Perfection

As one of the world’s largest automakers, Honda’s risk tolerance for production errors is low as the consequences are high.

Before VALID-8, Honda conducted error-proofing with paper and pen — hardly ideal for Honda’s fast-moving production line.

In such an environment, problems need to be identified and remedied quickly. That’s where VALID-8 comes in.

In the words of Honda users…

“As the Honda advertising slogan goes, “Hate Something, Change Something!” Probably a bit strong, although at times the traditional paper portfolio, along with all its trimmings, has prompted this thought on more than one occasion! Having run projects via the traditional method for a couple of years, it was a revelation to hear of [the VALID-8] system.”

Highlights from user feedback:

  • “I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this as a very efficient assessment and management administration tool, easy to use and never missed a beat.”
  •  “[The reports section identifies] the requirements left to complete for each candidate and the percentage completion figure displayed gives that extra encouragement to strive for the winning post.”
  • “From a candidate’s point of view, the system is easy to work with and explain from recording underpinning knowledge questions to capturing evidence on video of work in progress.”
