Learn what it is and how it can help us get a handle on that big failure:

DFR has been a term in and out of fashion for some time. One of the many DFX type programs. DFR, unlike some of the other Design for X programs has to exist within the overall culture of the organization to be successful. The premise that design occurs at the point of decision implies that each design may have the appropriate information to properly consider the decision’s impact on reliability performance.

Welcome Simon back to the podcast. He is the founder of Semiotic Lab; a company involved in predictive technology maintenance. Previously, he talked about monitoring electrical systems using online monitoring and wireless sensors. Our podcast today is about the practical implementation methods to optimize the benefits of these technologies in reliability. However, tell us more about what you do.
The focus has been on reliability using energy monitoring to improve sustainability for our clients. This has led to serving clients in the US, Canada, and has given us 3 global partners.
In this episode we covered:

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.
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.
