Abstract

Kirk and Fred discussing the challenge of getting samples to test during product development.

27 – Designing for Reliability: The First Step in Reliability

Designing for Reliability: The First Step in Reliability

This episode is about designing for reliability. It has been proven over time that the best inventions are designed properly after planning them and before implementation — even in the earlier times people used to draw things before they actually made them. After you have done an analysis of the equipment, there is not even close to good probability to make that product completely reliable. That is why a good design should be made before developing anything for which companies hire professional designers and good ones have their own designing teams too.
