Getting Information for Product Design with Fred Schenkelberg (A Chat with Cross-Functional Experts)

Dianna Deeney interviews Fred Schenkelberg about working with reliability engineers in getting information for product design.

Journey from Production to Consumption: Enhancing Product Reliability

When you design a product, do you also consider the stresses it undergoes during its journey from production to consumption?

Next Steps after Surprising Test Results

We use test to learn more about the product in order to make design decisions. What do we do when we get surprising test results?

Choose Reliability Goals for Modules

We have a reliability target for our system. But we’re not meeting it. To avoid this scenario, what is something we can do in early development? When we’re figuring out our concept, we can better learn about our options. We can work with Reliability Engineers to understand what we know, the risk in what we…

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.

Always Plot the Data

We don’t just rely on the numbers – we always plot the data! We review how we use plots to look past the numbers and common gotchas.

5 Options to Manage Risks during Product Engineering

What do we do with the risk we’ve identified? We look at five different ways to manage risk during new product development.

How Does Reliability Engineering Affect (Not Just Assess) Design?

Reliability Engineering isn’t just about assessments. It’s about providing information to make decisions. How does reliability engineering affect design?

Quality related to Reliability and Safety

Overlapping Ideas: Quality, Reliability, and Safety

What is the intercept of quality and safety? How concerned do we need to be about quality while we’re determining root causes?

Environmental Stress Testing for Robust Designs

To help plan future tests and projects, we review qualitative accelerated test models that can be used early in a design process.
