If you have quality friends, you may have heard of Gemba. What is Gemba and can it help with product design?
Gemba is an ideology.
And, yes, it can help with product design!
We explore how and talk about why you might want to adopt the term “Gemba” for product design engineering.

Dianna and Fred discussing how to get next steps when being presented a problem by quality assurance.

Chris and Fred discuss the seemingly never resolved question on ‘who’ is responsible for making something reliable? Is it the supplier? The designers? The manufacturers? Aliens?

In this episode I got to interview the amazing Fred Schenkelberg, who is a reliability expert at FMS Reliability and the owner of the super popular reliability and quality engineering professional development online platform, Accendo Reliability (make sure to check it out if you haven’t already!).
The episode centers on using and making sense of sensors in manufacturing. The application of sensors in manufacturing has become quite widespread. The goal is to collect large amounts of data from manufacturing equipment with the goal for those data to become information, knowledge and aid decision making. Potential areas are equipment maintenance/reliability, product performance and reliability, quality, efficiency, traceability, regulatory etc.
Fred shares with us his experience and wisdom on:
– Misapplication of sensors in manufacturing
– How experimentation prior to setting up a sensor is critical for understanding what you need to (and more importantly, what you don’t need to) collect data on
– Merely looking at sensor data doesn’t replace hands-on, in-person interaction with manufacturing equipment
– Strategies for deciding on what is important to collect data on

“A Chat with Cross Functional Experts” is a Quality during Design interview series. Our focus is speaking with people that are typically part of a cross-functional team for new product development. We discuss their viewpoints and perspectives regarding new products, the values they bring to new product development, and how they’re involved and work with product design engineering teammates.
Today we talk with Gabor Szabo. Gabor is an engineering and data professional with experience in numerous industries, including the medical device and automotive industries. In his current role a Sr. Principal Engineer of Operations Excellence, he works with various cross-functional teams on validating new processes and products, launching new products, helps them diagnose and solve technical problems. He hosts the Critical Talks podcast. He also develops software and builds data products in R.

OK … we have all been there. We have all sat in some statistical presentation or read a document containing mathematical symbols and statistical hieroglyphics we don’t understand. And we pretend we do understand so that we don’t embarrass ourselves. The people we don’t want to embarrass ourselves in front of usually also pretend to understand those symbols and hieroglyphics. This webinar is a light (re)introduction to common mathematical symbols used in many engineering scenarios … including reliability. [Read more…]

Jen Fijalkowski works for Aim Solder. Jen obtained her B.S. from the University of Rhode Island in Chemical Engineering and is a certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt. Prior to her role as a Technical Marketing Engineer, she interned as a SMT Process Engineer, where she analyzed various reports regarding solder paste printing and co-authored “Comparison of Aperture Designs, Solder Pastes, Nanocoatings and Print/Inspection Systems”, published in Circuits Assembly Magazine.
Jen also produces a video blog titled “Line Down” where she discusses common questions about solder paste best practices and how to avoid solder paste induced line-down situations.
I spoke with Jen about solder paste best practices as well as some of the latest advances in solder pastes such as low temperature, low voiding, and high reliability solder pastes.

The Leadership Connection Host, Doug Plucknette, interviews reliability leader John Reeve in Episode 32 of this series.
Mr. John Reeve is a CMMS Champion. With 21,000 followers on LinkedIn, he regularly shares knowledge on many topics, especially in asset management. Being the 2nd consultant hired by the company that invented Maximo, he spent the first 10 years consulting in project management consulting followed by 20 years on asset management with emphasis on Maximo software. During this time, he was issued a US Patent for maintenance scheduling “order of fire”, CR/CMML qualification from ReliabilityWeb, and, became the author of two books.

How is maintenance perceived in industry? We often struggle with buy-in from our operations and it negatively impacts our ability to do our jobs and continuously improve. Today we are talking about just that with the episode of “Industrial Ego.”
