Quality during Design
Quality during Design helps engineers navigate the messy front end of consumer product development and avoid the late-stage failures that come from unclear decisions, hidden risks, and siloed thinking.
Host Dianna Deeney, author of Pierce the Design Fog, teaches practical quality and reliability tools so your team can make smarter choices from day one, before problems get expensive.
You'll hear solo episodes on early-stage clarity, risk-based decision-making, and quality thinking, along with conversations with cross-functional experts in reliability, quality, marketing, psychology, and communication in the series A Chat with Cross-Functional Experts.
If you want to design products people love for less time, less cost, and a whole lot fewer headaches, then this is your place. Subscribe on Substack for monthly guides, templates, and Q&A.
Quality during Design
How can 8D help solve my recurring problem?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We talk about the 8D methodology, describe situations where we could benefit from it, list each of the 8 Disciplines, and compare it to PDSA and DMAIC.
Check the podcast blog for the stopwatch graphic from Chris S.P. Visser, download a summary sheet, my book recommendation, and a link to 8D forms.
