286 – Current Trends in Reliability with Fred Schenkelberg

286 – Current Trends in Reliability with Fred Schenkelberg

Current Trends in Reliability with Fred Schenkelberg

It’s my pleasure to welcome back Fred Schenkel Berg to the podcast.

In this episode we covered:

  • I see a lot of people working remote, maybe not full-time, but part-time as reliability engineers, is this the new normal and can they effectively do their job working remote?
  • Is this identifying gaps in that data that we’ve overcome in other ways, or is it increasing the demand for different types of data?
  • How has the facilitation changed, for example, for facilitating RCA or FMEA, if you’ve seen that done remotely? Well, have you heard of it being done well?

QDD 029 Types of Design Analyses possible with User Process Flowcharts

QDD 029 Types of Design Analyses possible with User Process Flowcharts

Types of Design Analyses possible with User Process Flowcharts

Flowcharting isn’t just useful for manufacturing processes. We can use them in lots of ways to help us with design of products and to identify quality characteristics. After all, products are used by people, and the way in which they use them is a process.

  • compare ideal vs. actual flowcharts
  • identify where there is disagreement about correct sequence or steps
  • identify common mistakes/problems at each step to mistake-proof the process and design
  • look for holds or delays, find the critical path

We also talk about specific flowchart analyses and how they can be used to analyze the user process for design.

  • Cost-of-Poor-Quality
  • Critical-to-Quality
  • Value-Added Analysis
  • Deployment Flowchart
