Risk assessment and prevention

Murphy’s Law applies to most unless you plan to prevent failure by considering solutions before you encounter it. Making snaps more flexible, creating a one way only assembly aid before the molding tool is built, or implementing a poke yoke to ensure screw torque are all examples of preventative actions spawned by the thoughtful organized disciplined brainstorming of product risk assessment and prevention. In some industries, this is also known as advanced product quality planning, or: APQP.

Do you experience the same issues every time you launch a new product? Are 8D's and fire fighting a part of your daily work?

The use of such tools as a process flow, failure mode and effects analysis, a control Ppan, and useful operator instructions will statistically ensure a provision of the highest quality for product s and services. Think of it as problem solving before the problems arise. Think of it as saving money by avoiding the high cost of customer issues, tool changes, and revalidation costs t o name a few.
