Ensuring the Success of Product and Service Design
Course ID: CESYS505Identify and eliminate risk factors in your design, preventing wasted development budgets, as well as future sales difficulties, product recalls, and bad press.
Description
Risk management has been long been a blind spot for global business. Before taking a product or service from concept into production, you must perform due diligence to determine whether the design addresses your requirements, hits your performance targets, and can be properly tested.
In system design, risk will be present, and it is vitally important to learn how to identify, quantify, and manage it. This course, authored by Professor Peter Jackson of Cornell’s Systems Engineering Program, will teach you how to run a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) in order to quantify and manage risk; the course will also provide real-life examples to illustrate the practical dimensions of risk management and communicate what’s at stake if shortcuts are taken.
There are opportunities to take corrective action when flaws are discovered in the design concept and processes. This course covers how to problem-solve in order to reduce the severity of negative outcomes, and how to deploy the FMEA process to prioritize corrective actions. Students will fill out real-life worksheets and participate in informative exercises that teach occurrence likelihood rating, severity rating, risk priority numbers (RPS), and other valuable concepts. Also, models introduced in previous courses will be used, allowing learners to gain a deeper understanding of applied risk management. By the end of the course, all participants will understand the steps necessary to identify, quantify, and mitigate risk.
Who Should Take This Course?
This course is indispensable for individuals involved with the design, development, and production of products, and service implementations. This includes engineers, project managers, marketing and product line managers, design managers and others who come into contact with system design processes. It is also appropriate for hands-on executives whose companies rely on maintaining a competitive advantage with their products and/or services.Certificate Information
