PRG Lunch Seminars: Managing Design Risk May 17, 2012

Successful new product development (NPD) involves the art of balancing schedules, resources, and costs to enable products that launch on-time, with desired performance and at the right cost. Inevitably, trade-offs and risks must be made along the way. Companies that manage these trade-offs and risks consistently outperform their competitors.

This panel of industry experts looks at how to identify all the risks in development, and shares their knowledge of the latest emerging risks. The panelists offer a variety of perspectives -ranging from Mechanical and Electrical Design, Product Reliability and Parts Fabrication. Practical issues of how upstream design decisions impact downstream performance, quality and costs will be explored.

Learn about:

1. Five tips for risks mitigation
2. Managing constraints and trade-offs
3. Concurrent engineering and communications
4. Emerging risks
5. Reliability considerations
