What keeps you up at night?

Who can forget the failure to grasp the limitations of the mechanical properties of the O-ring used in the Space Shuttle Challenger? Component level testing is another method to identify risky design elements if the critical-to-function parameters of a larger assembly are understood. Similar to the...

Zusammenfassung:Who can forget the failure to grasp the limitations of the mechanical properties of the O-ring used in the Space Shuttle Challenger? Component level testing is another method to identify risky design elements if the critical-to-function parameters of a larger assembly are understood. Similar to the application of lean methodology, reliable products are the result of the thoughtful application of a variety of methods and techniques.
