I like talking with people in product design and the manufacturing industry. Contact me if you're interested in being interviewed and being a guest on the show.
Once we’ve decided to control something (think of our prevention and detection controls), we then need to decide how to measure it. Different controls may need different measuring requirements, which can give us discrete or continuous data. We treat these data types differently when collecting it, determining sample sizes, and analyzing it for results. Tune-in…
Dianna compares different types of controls in product development and design engineering: Prevention Controls vs. Detection Controls. She reviews concepts, uses for controls, risk-based controls, and how to prioritize design efforts for the right controls.
A team approach to complex decisions, with many options and criteria, is suggested by Dr. Anderson-Cook and Dr. Lu: DMRCS.
Design for Environment and Design for Disassembly are concepts that product design engineers can adopt for benefits beyond reducing waste and can be a quality measure.
What is the intercept of quality and safety? How concerned do we need to be about quality while we’re determining root causes?
SIPOC diagrams are a great first step for our team in understanding the key people and elements to our process.
