Our manufacturing friends are approaching us with a problem.

They want to test the product during manufacturing. The way the product is currently designed doesn't let them do this, or not easily.

Can we make a design change so they can test?

 

Imagine that they're coming to us with this question before we've completed the design. Can they really see the future?

Perhaps, with strategic use of FMEA. We talk through a scenario of how to do it.
