Dianna compares different types of controls in product development and design engineering: Prevention Controls vs. Detection Controls. She reviews concepts, uses for controls, risk-based controls, and how to prioritize design efforts for the right controls.
A team approach to complex decisions, with many options and criteria, is suggested by Dr. Anderson-Cook and Dr. Lu: DMRCS.
What is the intercept of quality and safety? How concerned do we need to be about quality while we’re determining root causes?
SIPOC diagrams are a great first step for our team in understanding the key people and elements to our process.
There’s a model that can help us visualize and consider the different barriers to harm: The Swiss Cheese Model of Accident Causation. Learn what makes up this model and how ideas are represented. There are also different ways that the model is being used today. How can we design for controls, policies, or actions that are part of the use of our product but outside of our control?
To help plan future tests and projects, we review qualitative accelerated test models that can be used early in a design process.
