QDD 003 Why Your Design Inputs Need to Include Quality & Reliability
Why Your Design Inputs Need to Include Quality & Reliability
You’re nearing the end of your project, getting cross-functional approval on your design, when your QE or RE friend comes running with a big, red STOP button! Let’s avoid that!
Quality and Reliability are INPUTS into the design process, much earlier than by the time we have a prototype in-hand (even at the black-box, input-output phase). Getting the QEs and REs involved early will help your design be a success with suppliers, manufacturers, and your cross-functional team.
MD 155 Considerations on How to Effectively Bring Technology into an Organization with George Williams
MD 155 Considerations on How to Effectively Bring Technology into an Organization with George Williams
In this episode, we are switching directions and instead of looking at the technology, we focus on people and processes to help bring these technologies in and most importantly, get the desired value from them.
In this week’s episode on the Technology Innovation series of Maintenance Disrupted, I talk with George Williams at ReliabiltyX to get his thoughts and recommendation as a reliability practitioner and now an advisor and consultant on what he has seen work and not work when companies bring in new technologies. From developing the initial business case mapped to the company objective to the behavior changes needed, George provides sound advice to anyone considering bring new technology to their maintenance and reliability initiatives.

SOR 649 Extrapolation and Sample Sizes
Extrapolation and Sample Sizes
Abstract
Chris and Fred discuss (essentially) how many ‘things’ you need to see to know enough about those ‘things.’ We see this conundrum across all sorts of fields of study. How many kangaroos do I need to capture and weigh to get a good understanding of the entire population’s typical weight? Delete kangaroo and insert whatever thing matters to you.

SOR 648 Accelerated Testing Assumptions
Accelerated Testing Assumptions
Abstract
Chris and Fred discuss accelerated testing. Accelerated testing is great for getting lots of information in a short period of time. You can compress a lot of ‘real-time’ life into a really small amount of testing. But how do you do it right? You need to understand the underlying physics of failure to work out how the compression of time works.

QDD 002 My product works. Why don’t they want it?
My product works. Why don’t they want it?
Have you ever designed a product that works but that customers just don’t want to use?
We’ve put a product to market only to find that the users just don’t want to use it. They’re buying it, so there’s perceived value in it. It’s functional, it does what we say it will do, it really works! But they’re not repeat buyers and not making good recommendations to others (it’s sort of making the company look bad).
What went wrong? In some cases, there’s warning signs to watch for during your design development. And, if looking to the design process for an answer, there’s some tools and strategies to help prevent that from happening before product launch, or to help as a starting point when you plan for your version 2.0.
This podcast will review the strategies and pitfalls and how to avoid them. [Read more…]
10 Reasons to do FMEAs
10 Reasons to do FMEAs
podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson
Everyone knows why we do reliability, and reliability things like FMEAs. Customer experience. Organization reputation. Reduced warranty claims 10 years from now. But these are boring reasons that really don’t motivate me to take FMEAs seriously now. Why should I invest so much time into an activity that benefits the ‘company’ or the ‘customer’ in the future but won’t make an immediate difference when my boss will give me a ‘gold star’ on my next performance appraisal? Right? Wrong! [Read more…]

QDD 001 How to Choose the Right Improvement Model
QDD 001 How to Choose the Right Improvement Model
You have a design you want to make better. Or you’re working within a designing framework that you think needs to be updated. Quality folks use and promote some standard problem solving and continuous improvement methods, and you’ll want to get started with the right one, or reference the right acronym when getting buy-in for your project.
You may have heard of PDCA, PDSA, and DMAIC. You vaguely know these represent improvement processes, but don’t really know what their differences are. When should you use which one, and for what? [Read more…]
