Risk Management in Design Transfer: Our Proven Process
Risk Management in Design Transfer
Risk management in design transfer is a critical and complex process When moving a new product from the design stage to production and distribution, you are signing up to perform critical and complex design transfer(s), where the product’s success/failure may be determined. Design transfers are critical; you can’t manage the risks of design transfers simply by employing a “risk management checklist.” It’s a hands-on process for teams and individuals to proactively plan for, assess, and control all potential risks to design transfer potential impacts to product quality, reliability, or cost. We work with organizations to help ensure the design transfer stage is as seamless as possible to avoid problems before they arise. Our job is to make sure deliveries meet the intent of the designer every time.
We have lots of experience supporting companies in the highly regulated industries (medical device, aerospace, etc.) where the risks are at their highest. We will continue to take a sensible, data-driven approach to identify and minimize risks in that aspect of change. Through techniques like Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and process validation, we allow you to identify vulnerabilities in your production process, as well as by establishing robust controls. Our expertise in Reliability Engineering Services ensures that it is reliable and fits the design specifications every time. We will not be an advisor to you, but rather a partner in your launch!
