QDD 022 The Way We Test Matters

The Way We Test Matters

We can look at test methods like a product in and of itself. Because tests also have requirements and need to produce usable results, we validate against those requirements. Validating our test method also ensures that they are precise and accurate.

We talk about things to consider when looking at product tests: tying test methods to the product’s use environment, standards, and cumulative effects of testing.

9 Ways Reliability is Green Engineering

podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg

Products that are reliable are also green. This is a rather simple argument as if an item is designed and built well, it lasts a long time, thus avoiding the landfill. When living in northern Bavaria years ago, the apartment came with a full bedroom set. The entire set was both beautiful and functional.

RM 075: Matric Group’s Patrick Stimpert on Lean Manufacturing with a “Lean-In” Philosophy

Matric Group’s Patrick Stimpert on Lean Manufacturing with a “Lean-In” Philosophy

EMS provider Matric Group’s Patrick Stimpert incorporated the Toyota Production System’s Lean principles into his contract manufacturing business. Patrick states “Results are Important. How do I get my results? With the use of the Toyota Production System’s Lean principles and my simple rule “don’t waste time rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, go fix the problem”. I believe in the “LEAN-IN” processes and gain improvements through RIPs (Rapid Improvement Projects) These projects are based on a standard of identifying problems, brainstorming solutions, attempting those solutions, and adjusting from there. “If we are going to fail, we are going to fail fast and cheap.”
