Chris and Adam discuss FDSC. This may only mean something to you if you have experience in ‘military’ equipment. It stands for Failure Definition and Scoring Criteria. And it is used to remove subjectivity in classifying what sort of failure it is. Unless the military customer decides to change these during development. And this causes issues for all. If you want to hear more about what happens when you ‘shift the goal posts’ during development, then listen to this podcast!

Chris and Fred discuss what ‘tell’s an organization that sucks at reliability has. That is, can you just tell an organization makes terrible products before you even get to their reliability department/guidebook/strategy/laboratory? And if you can, what are they? Our experience shows that when we are brought in to solve a ‘reliability’ problem, we need to address a vision/leadership/resourcing/(insert poor business practice here) issue. If this interests you … please listen to this podcast!

Chris and Fred discuss the role regulators play in many industries. Are we better off because of them? In many cases … yes. But perhaps regulators are also getting in the way of us doing things better. And at what point does their ‘net harm’ exceed their ‘net good’? Can regulators do a better job, and perhaps create an alternative to archaic checklists and compliance audits? We think yes. If this topic interests you, listen to this podcast!
