I want to tell you that I have gone through many webinars on Accendo Reliability and found them very useful. I am new to Reliability Engineering and very keen to learn it and apply it in my organization. — Ankur Sharma
We record each event and post the video along with the slides or workbook, plus we use the audio for a podcast.
Fundamentals of Process Capability
Scheduled for May 14, 2023, at 9 am US Pacific time.
Speaker: Fred Schenkelberg
Calculating and interpreting the process capability ratios is the easy part. Getting valid results takes more work and thinking. Knowing that the process is capable is only one use of this information. We should also use the information contained in these ratios to inform product design tolerance.
Let’s explore the steps necessary to obtain valid and valuable process capability ratios. Then, let’s examine a few ways to use this information to effectively improve our processes and designs.
Scheduled for May 28, 2024, at 8 am US Pacific time.
Speaker: Chris Jackson
Many engineers rush to design or build something that we think is ‘awesome’ or at least ‘proves a concept.’ But this often means we build something that we like (not necessarily what our users like) or doesn’t work (because we didn’t realize that have sensitive electronic components near hot exhaust manifolds would be a problem). This is where taking a breath and understanding our product before we build the wrong thing fast can really helpful. A FMEA or functional block diagram can really help us visualize what different parts of our system do, and how they interact. They also help us identify the basic, interface and additional functions that separate an ‘average’ product from an ‘industry leading’ product. If this is something you think you or your team can benefit from, join us for this webinar.
Greed – Fear – Failure in Product Dev
Scheduled for TBD, at 9 am US Pacific time.
Speaker: Greg Hutchins
We’re building an Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework (AIRMF) App®. This is the de facto guideline for AI dev. It may well be the de jure standard for AI dev.
The problem: We think this can be a killer app. This is the greed. We constantly fear that competitors will beg, borrow, or steal. This is the fear. We obsess over UI/UX, latency, state, etc. This is the fear of technology disruption and failure.
Most webinars talk about ‘what is’ and ‘how to’ tools. This is great. However, you can do a Chat GPT or Gemini search and often learn as much. The goal of this webinar is to ‘get real’ with product dev in AI or VUCA time. Changing standards. Changing rules. Tension. Fear. Frustration. Failure. Monetization. Greed. All the things that most entrepreneurs don’t talk about.
In this webinar, Greg will discuss:
• What are the attributes of today’s AI product dev?
• What are AI product dev and deployment technical challenges?
• What are the “show me da’ money” challenges?
• What does personal fear, failure, and frustration look and feel like in dev?
• What are solutions/mitigations: burning man, shrink, weed, booze, or exercise?

Bert Schaefer says
Wanted to let everyone new to these live events to know that the presentation is scheduled for an hour but afterwards there is always very good discussion. So if you can set aside an extra 15 to 30 minutes afterwards to listen in and contribute. I noticed today that Fred turned off the recording at the one hour mark so the discussion is only available in the live event and not in the recorded version.
Fred Schenkelberg says
Hi Bert, thanks for the comment. I did shut down the recording as I was pretty quiet on the question front. Then Chris did get a few more questions prompting more discussion. Guess it is good reason to make the live event – and a lesson for me to keep recording… cheers, Fred
