QDD 017 What is ‘Production Equivalent’ and Why Does it Matter?

What is ‘Production Equivalent’ and Why Does it Matter?

We’re in the middle of our design process and we’re getting some of the first parts in hand, from prototyping or benchtops or our manufacturing cell. Let’s test them and finish our verification testing! Maybe we shouldn’t.

We talk about the concept of production equivalent: what it means and when it’s important to consider.

Deliberate Reliability Testing

Deliberate Reliability Testing

podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg

Reliability testing is expensive. For that expense, the testing results should provide timely, meaningful results. Results that provide actionable information and insights.

The idea of running a set of standard tests or tests that we ‘commonly run’ in many cases as little value. Each test (experiment) should be conducted for specific reasons related to the current project and current knowledge. [Read more…]

QDD 016 About Visual Quality Standards

QDD 016 About Visual Quality Standards

About Visual Quality Standards

“A picture is worth a thousand words” is an old saying, and it holds true! Visual standards, visual aids, and quality standards are a great tool, especially in design when communicating the limits of acceptability. This episode explores areas to capture this type of information and how it can be used not just for Quality Assurance and Production, but also for design verification protocols, FMEA, root cause analysis, and future field defect investigations (to name a few).
