Before we can link customer needs to design, production, and service of our products, we need to listen to and understand the voice of the customer.

QDD 022 The Way We Test Matters
The Way We Test Matters
We can look at test methods like a product in and of itself. Because tests also have requirements and need to produce usable results, we validate against those requirements. Validating our test method also ensures that they are precise and accurate.
We talk about things to consider when looking at product tests: tying test methods to the product’s use environment, standards, and cumulative effects of testing.
9 Ways Reliability is Green Engineering
9 Ways Reliability is Green Engineering
podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg
Reliable products are also green. This is a relatively simple argument: If an item is designed and built well, it lasts a long time, thus avoiding landfills.

Matric Group’s Patrick Stimpert on Lean Manufacturing with a “Lean-In” Philosophy
EMS provider Matric Group’s Patrick Stimpert incorporated the Toyota Production System’s Lean principles into his contract manufacturing business. Patrick states “Results are Important. How do I get my results? With the use of the Toyota Production System’s Lean principles and my simple rule “don’t waste time rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, go fix the problem”. I believe in the “LEAN-IN” processes and gain improvements through RIPs (Rapid Improvement Projects) These projects are based on a standard of identifying problems, brainstorming solutions, attempting those solutions, and adjusting from there. “If we are going to fail, we are going to fail fast and cheap.”
