Why Yield Quality in the Front-End of Product Development
We want to yield quality in the front-end of product development, to help us do the engineering work that’s important for great designs.

What do we do with FMEA early in design concept?
It’s best to do FMEA early in the design concept phases of development. If we do FMEA early, then what can with do with it?

Use FMEA to Design for In-Process Testing
We can use FMEA to design for in-process testing, using both process and design FMEAs early during design concepts.

Prevention Controls vs. Detection Controls
Dianna compares different types of controls in product development and design engineering: Prevention Controls vs. Detection Controls. She reviews concepts, uses for controls, risk-based controls, and how to prioritize design efforts for the right controls.

Choosing a Confidence Level for Test using FMEA
We should choose a confidence level for our requirements or their test plans. We can associate that confidence level with the level of risk associated with our product. FMEA is a great tool for us to refer to, to help us choose a relevant confidence level by basing our decision on one or more metrics that the FMEA can provide.

Getting Started with FMEA – It All Begins with a Plan
We’re starting to populate an FMEA table with our team. We get it started, but then we get stuck in disagreements. Or we think we finish it and then we don’t know what to do with it.
We can avoid these headaches with a little planning (or maybe a lot of planning – it depends on the project). We talk about risk management planning, as it relates to FMEA.
