Hello and welcome to Quality During Design, the place
to use quality thinking tocreate products others love for
less.
I'm your host, diana Deeney.
I'm a senior level qualityprofessional and engineer with
over 20 years of experience inmanufacturing and design.
I consult with businesses andcoach individuals and how to
apply quality during design totheir processes.

Hey everyone, wow, what a yearit's been.
Thinking back on all theconversations we've had, the
guests we welcomed and thetopics we've explored, I'm
filled with a sense ofaccomplishment.
I'm so proud of the podcastthat we've built together
(00:46):
Together, because this podcastwouldn't be possible without you
.
I'm incredibly grateful forthis community.
I wanted to create this episodeas a thank you, to review some
of the interesting statisticsabout this podcast, to remind
you of what we did last year, soif you missed it, you can go
back and catch up and lookingforward to next year what we
(01:08):
have planned.
If you're a return listener,thank you so much for tuning in
to Quality During Design.
If you're new here, welcome tothe Quality During Design
podcast.
Quality During Design is aphilosophy that emphasizes the
benefits of cross-functionalteam involvement in design, and
it's also a methodology thatuses quality tools to refine
(01:32):
design concepts early.
It's quality during the designprocess.
So here at Quality DuringDesign, we talk a lot about
quality tools, reliability toolsand analysis and design
methodologies, and alsocommunications and communication
enhancements with ourcross-functional team.
(01:52):
Whether you're a seasoneddesigner or just starting out,
looking to improve your existingdesigns or start from scratch,
quality During Design is for you.
We have something for you.
Speaking of you, the listeners.
Thank you for listening.
The Quality During Design isfor you.
We have something for you.
Speaking of you, the listeners.
Thank you for listening.
The Quality During Designpodcast has been streamed in
over 30 countries around theworld.
The top five countries are theUnited States, mexico, germany,
(02:19):
ireland and the United Kingdom,no matter where you're located.
Thank you for listening andtuning in.
Over the life of the podcast,which started in 2021, the most
popular episodes have to do withFMEA failure mode and effects
analysis.
That is one of the reasons whyI decided to create an FMEA
(02:41):
course.
I teamed up with Ray Harkinsand the Manufacturing Academy on
Udemy U-D-E-M-Y to create anasynchronous course.
It's a course that you buy, youhave lifetime access to, and it
is bite-sized lessons that youcan digest a little bit here and
there or you can do it all atonce.
(03:02):
It's asynchronous, it's up toyou.
You control your learning pace.
The course is called FMEA inPractice From Plan to Risk-Based
Decision Making a guide tounderstanding and applying
failure modes and effectsanalysis in your systems,
products and processes.
My goal with this course was totake it way beyond filling in a
(03:23):
table and meeting regulatoryrequirements.
I really wanted to get into howto use these analyses to make
decisions and how to use them tocontrol and mitigate risks.
We talk about risk managementgoals being strategic with what
FMEAs we're supposed to be doing.
We talk about the use of FMEAto help us meet our risk
(03:46):
management goals.
I touch on why you see peoplerailing against the risk index
and what that means for us andwhat we can do about it, and I
also get into how to measure theeffectiveness and efficiency of
our meetings with strategic andtactical measures.
I invite you to learn moreabout it at udemycom or you can
(04:07):
go to qualityduringdesigncom andfind a link to get more
information there, and you canjoin over 200 other students in
this learning material.
Fmea might be the most populartopic over the history of the
podcast, but over the last year.
The most popular episode thatwas released this year was
(04:27):
prioritizing customersatisfaction and product design
in parentheses, the Kano model.
I was not expecting thisepisode to be as popular as it
was, but I'm pleasantlysurprised because look for this
type of analysis in a book to bereleased next year.
I've been working on amanuscript with a working title
(04:49):
Pierce the Fog of Design.
Develop Design Inputs with aTeam Before you Start
Engineering Solutions.
I'm not only talking about KANAmodel things.
I'm also talking about riskmanagement and use process,
being able to evaluate those inknowledge sharing sessions with
our cross-functional team.
We're talking about conceptdevelopment working with our
(05:13):
team to develop ideas before westart creating solutions and
creating prototypes for things.
I think this topic is veryimportant and encompasses a lot
of the things that I try topromote with quality during
design, so I am very excited tobe able to bring this book to
you next year.
I'll be working with someexperts to really polish it and
(05:36):
make it the best that it can be.
Be working with some experts toreally polish it and make it
the best that it can be.
If you'd like to stay on top ofthe details and news about this
book, then please sign up forthe newsletter.
It's a monthly digest of allthings quality during design and
engineering.

Over the life of the podcastI've had a few special series.
(05:59):
I had one special series thisyear called the Myths of Product
Development.
In it I took a article fromHarvard Business Review and
broke down what some of thesemyths of product development
were, and a lot of them had todo with treating the product
development process like amanufacturing process and how it
(06:19):
doesn't work and why it doesn'twork.
So I broke that down over twoepisodes.
We talked about each of themyths and how it applies and how
quality during design methodscan help address those myths or
help to make your design processbetter.
If you missed that specialseries, please go back and check
(06:40):
it out.
Other special podcast episodeswe had included book reviews.
I did a self-review of a book byArnold Schwarzenegger Be Useful
Seven Tools for Life.
I really wanted to bringforward some of the ideas he
presented in his book becauseit's applicable to our careers
and to how we react to things inengineering and in product
(07:03):
development.
The major technique was tofollow up and follow through and
I share some of the storiesthat Arnold shares in his books,
and I also share some of my ownpersonal stories about my
struggles with this.
This is something that we allneed to learn.
We can either learn from othersand be proactive about it.
Sometimes it's a hard lessonlearned where we have to
(07:26):
experience it to reallyunderstand what people mean by
follow up and follow through.
Hopefully we can help you learnthis lesson, or to help you
move on from this lesson so youcan be better at your career.
I know I was once.
I learned it.
I collaborated with others inother book reviews.
Another book review format thatI take is to choose two books,
(07:50):
read them at the same time andto compare and contrast the
books, especially over a certaintheme which we choose
engineering themes and workingas an engineer as a theme and
what each book has to say aboutthose themes.
So I collaborated with somebodyon comparing these two books
Brilliant Shuji Nakamura and theRevolution in Lighting
(08:13):
Technology by Bob Johnstone andhow to Win Friends and Influence
People by Dale Carnegie.
This book review was publishedas part of an IEEE webinar
series and I got permission torepublish it as a podcast
episode, so if you missed itthis year, go back and check it
out Late.
In the previous year, in 2023,I collaborated with a couple of
(08:36):
other friends on another bookdiscussion, where we discussed
the Wright Brothers by DavidMcCullough and To Engineer as
Human by Henry Petrosky.
I shared these in the QualityDairy Design podcast this year
also.
So if you like these bookreviews there are two of them
this year Please let me know ifthis is something you'd like to
(08:58):
continue listening to, if thisis something you're interested
in.
Also, let me know if there areany books that you think we
should include in a book reviewdiscussion.
Speaking of collaborations, wehad three interviews this year.
I interviewed Fred Schenkelbergon getting information for
product design, where we talkeda lot about reliability
(09:20):
engineering and how it canprovide information for design
decisions.
I spoke with Dr Megan Pollackabout improving communication
and the workplace, where shepromotes looking at our
workplaces a little differentlyto make them more inclusive, to
be more empathetic with thepeople around us, so that we can
improve our workplaces, makethem a better place to work.
(09:43):
I also spoke with Dr YakiraMirabito about social dynamics
within engineering, specificallyin design reviews, how
personalities and these socialdynamics in engineering can
affect the decisions that aremade about a project and what we
can do about it instead.
I really enjoy these interviews.
(10:03):
I like hosting these interviewsand talking with other people
and sharing our discussion withyou.
These interviews and talkingwith other people and sharing
our discussion with you.
If you like these interviews,know that they are packaged
within season three of theQuality During Design podcast.
You can also go toqualityduringdesigncom and in
the podcast blog search for AChat with Cross-Functional
(10:24):
Experts.
That'll give you a list of allthe interviews that we've done
so far with the podcast.
So, besides the one-offepisodes of special tools and
techniques that can make ourengineering lives easier, we
also incorporate interviews,book review discussions and
series about special topics.
If you're listening on yourpodcast player, go ahead and
(10:47):
click the link at the top of thedescription which says send us
