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.
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.

SIPOC diagrams are a great first step for our team in understanding the key people and elements to our process.
There’s a model that can help us visualize and consider the different barriers to harm: The Swiss Cheese Model of Accident Causation. Learn what makes up this model and how ideas are represented.
