4-hr Virtual Seminar: Design Reviews for Efficiency and Efficacy

Why Should You Attend:

Is your organization making too many engineering changes? Would you like to prevent this waste of engineering resources and time?

The techniques discussed in this webinar will make you aware of the primary source of mistakes--the user requirements specifications.

Evidence shows that as much as 60 percent requirements are overlooked in the specifications. Such oversights result in inefficient and ineffective products and processes. The speaker, with experience on hundreds of new products, will show you how to discover the unspecified needs of the customers through creative design review methods. A company prevented over 700 engineering changes using these techniques resulting in reduced budgets and finishing the project ahead of time.

This webinar will show how you can add high value to your products and processes by improving the performance while reducing the life cycle costs significantly
