Not every problem has a solution inevery dimension (or at least not one that is readily determined), and some dimensionsmay have more than one solution. Due to the somewhat different nature of purelybiological problems and solutions to those typical of engineering-type problems, somedimensions do not apply or require further sub-sections for clear classifications. Thisprocess of using the 8D methodology is a way to quickly find a great number of solutionswhile allowing “open-minded” thinking

saved.Rapid application development techniquesPerhaps the greatest advance of this decade in software engineering has been the introduction ofrapid application development techniques, most notably being the idea of software modules thatcan be easily reused and combined to make whole, fully functional programs. While the idea ofmodularity isn’t new, it has only recently been realized with the introduction of MicrosoftWindows and ActiveX. This allows developers to create the aforementioned modules, andsimply drop them into any application. Because the modules are entirely self-contained, they canbe reused with a variety of applications. This allows a complex piece of code, such as a neuralnetwork, to be written, debugged, and proven once and then
