Product Description
This publication is a professional quality DVD video & 3D interactive eBook DVD Quatro Set, meaning three video DVDs and one 3D eBook on computer readable DVD-ROM, covering some of the most important FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) analytical as well as practical aspects of Risk-based Design, within a digital product design & development framework. Having understood the material presented, the product design and development team will have a clear concept, sound methods, and tools for reducing risk at all levels, and in all processes during product design and development, including service level products & processes. In the DVD Quatro Set Part 1 is a DVD video, introducing the topic, the rational, the cost issues with several risk-reduction by design examples. Part 2 is a DVD Video, taped in the USA, Europe and Japan, illustrating the importance of reducing risk in product design and product / process development. Part 3 is a DVD video discussion and demonstration of an in-depth analytical method and Professor Ranky's extended FMEA (Failure Mode Effects Analysis) tool-set, and Part 4 is a 3D eBook on DVD, an interactive browser readable electronic book, containing all important diagrams, images, calculations, interactive 3D objects, video clips, text explanations, etc. Level: Product and process design engineers and managers, industrial engineers, PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) engineers, IT developers, quality & operations managers, and others, interested in eliminating unnecessary risk, waste, lost time, and compensation costs. Also ideal for undergraduate / graduate education and research in lean product design and product development, digital design and manufacturing, risk assessment, risk reduction, risk management, and waste reduction.
