Drew brings nearly 30 years experience and thought leadership in the fields of manufacturing reliability engineering and physical asset management.

In this episode we review sampling for design tests. We talk through a generic thought process for choosing a statistically relevant sample size and propose some basics that we can all learn about to better understand sampling.
Our goal is for us to be able to better talk through a sampling scenario with our quality and reliability engineering friends, and to better prepare for the information that they’re going to want to know when asked, “How many do we need to test?”

It costs our customers to own our designed products. It costs them initially to purchase it, but it also costs them to use it, maintain it, repair it, and eventually dispose of it. And it costs our company in ways too, like processing, training requirements for customers, and warranty repair costs.
Life cycle costing can help our team choose between design alternatives, like alternate design options, features, manufacturing methods, or suppliers.
