Fundamentals of Early Field Results
podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg
At least one group called this the ‘Delta Phase.’ It is the period shortly after launching a product and provides a unique opportunity to reduce future field failures and improve customer satisfaction dramatically. The idea is to aggressively identify and resolve any field issues identified by your customers.
There are a couple of ways to implement the Delta Phase with your product launch. Yet, it requires creating a team from the design/development team that has the authority and capability to implement design changes quickly.
Let’s explore the concept of a delta phase and how to implement it in your organization. Plus, let’s examine a few situations that make significant short and long-term reductions in the field failure rate.
This Accendo Reliability webinar was originally broadcast on 12 November 2024.

Fundamentals of FRACAS
This webinar introduces you to the basic elements of FRACAS. Plus, we examine a few failed programs so that you can avoid problems.

Fundamentals of Root Cause Analysis
Let’s discuss when you have sufficient understanding of a failure mechanism to implement a solution and a few common obstacles to avoid.

Essential Reliability Engineering Concepts
Let’s discuss the concept of failures along with a few other concepts universal to reliability engineering.

Preventing Moisture and Corrosion Damage
The goal is to educate the audience on options to prevent electronic equipment failure used in enclosed spaces from corrosion.

What is Fatigue?
Fatigue is interesting in that it allows something to fail without it ever being exposed to stresses that are beyond its strength.

So What is the Root Cause?
This webinar takes you through a framework to explore the understand the root cause of a failure, something we can do something about.

Focus on Failure Mechanisms
Let’s explore the many ways something can fail and how understanding failure mechanisms makes a difference.
