How are quality tools Legos of development?
We talk about two philosophies of brick building and our use of the family of quality tools.
We also talk about seven uses of quality tools in product development.
In this episode, I speak with Philip Sage about organizations’ challenges with recording failure data and making the most of it, how this affects their ability to make data-driven decisions, and their inability to apply an Asset Management framework specific to their risk profile.

The dividing up of a reliability goal is one way to specify reliability goals for specific key elements of your product. Yet, that is not the only purpose of allocation. It can and should be a key practice to get your team working toward a common goal in a unified and collaborative manner.
Let’s discuss a couple of easy ways to accomplish reliability allocation or apportionment, then examine a valuable way to use this tool to improve the chances of achieving your overall reliability goal.
On this episode, we’ll dive into the world of electronics testing with an expert within the electronics testing industry, Robert Boguski, President and Owner of Datest.

Tradespeople bring expertise, innovation, high quality, and leadership to product development. If we’re lucky enough to be able to work with them, they’re an invaluable part of the engineering team.
What about when we’re working without them? How can we create a culture of craftsmanship in a company that uses a quality system?
In this episode, we talk about the crafts’ and trades’ relationship with quality systems, and steps toward creating a culture of craftsmanship.
If you want to learn more about the different distributions, feel free to ask me or Miguel, and we will be more than happy to help where we can.
Some of you might have heard of the ‘bell curve.’ Some of you might have heard that the ‘bell curve’ is sometimes called the ‘normal distribution.’ There is a reason it is called normal … but that is not always obvious. But then there is the ‘lognormal distribution.’ What is this? … and how does it relate back to the ‘bell curve?’ There is a really good reason for this link. And the good thing is that all you need is just a little bit of knowledge about how something breaks (and is repaired) to help use the lognormal distribution to help you make lots of important decisions … easily!
