Renaud is joined this week by two guests who both have decades of industry experience each: Sofeast's reliability expert, Andrew Amirnovin who has a background in electrical engineering and a keen focus on product reliability, and Clive Greenwood a quality consultant at WWMG associates who is a Six Sigma Black Belt and has a special focus on medical devices and product compliance.
They'll be discussing the long-term costs of poor product quality and reliability, including some real product examples you've probably heard of, the negative effects of poor reliability and quality products hitting the market, how to prevent those issues when developing & making a product, and how to prevent those issues when building a quality management system.
