How To Do A Product Failure Analysis?


Listen Later

In this episode...

Sofeast's CEO Renaud Anjoran and Adrian from the team discuss product failure analysis. Hopefully, you never need to do one, but if you are hit with quality, reliability, or safety problems with your product during development or, more likely, in the field, it may be necessary to help you decide what to do. This is especially important if problems are severe enough to warrant a recall.

Renaud explains what a failure analysis is, when it may be required, and the FA methodology you can follow step-by-step with required actions per step.
