There are myths of product development that Quality can help with.
How do we integrate quality with product development? Using quality tools and techniques early in the design phase can lead to more successful outcomes. But we cannot do it by treating the product development process like a manufacturing process.
Listen to this Part 1 as we unpack Harvard Business Review’s “The Six Myths of Product Development” by Stefan Thomke and Donald Reinersten. We review three of the six myths in the article, revealing the misconceptions around resource allocation, batch processing, and rigid development plans.
Join us as we review why treating a product development process like a manufacturing process is riddled with pitfalls. The reasons why it doesn’t work provides us understanding to what we CAN use quality tools and techniques to do to improve product development.
This is Part 1. Tune into the next episode for Part 2, where we will review the remaining three myths of product development.

And the answer is not ‘the letter C.’ A FMEA is a group activity that follows a logical (and time-proven) structure to effectively ‘brainstorm’ what are called ‘corrective actions’ for existing or likely problems in design and manufacture of products. Production teams that comprise designers, engineers, technicians and manufacturers typically have a wealth of existing knowledge and understanding of the product being developed. But some people will tell you that an FMECA is not an FMEA. And many government agencies, in particular, demand FMECAs over FMEAs. Interested to understand the difference (if any) between FMEAs and FMECAs? … and How can you make an FMECA work for you? Join us at this webinar!

Greg and Fred discuss the risks of persisting in a project or in life when you know there are risks. In poker terms, “do you hold em’ or fold em’? What do companies do when they’ve sunk a lot of costs and know the ROI of their project is vaporizing? What do you do when you know you’re losing. Fight on. Or, walk away. The risks of persistence is what we face all the time.
