Question

Accepted Answer

Recall activity and learnings from DG and DFMEA implementation

Recall activity: XYZ product was recalled due to a safety issue identified during customer usage.
Learnings from DG: Identified the need for improved communication between design and manufacturing teams to ensure proper implementation of design guidelines.
Learnings from DFMEA: Discovered potential failure modes and their effects on product performance, leading to design modifications to mitigate risks.
Example: DG learning - Lack of clarity in design specifications resulted in manufacturing defects, highlighting the importance of detailed design guidelines.
Example: DFMEA learning - Identified a failure mode related to component fatigue, leading to the implementation of a more robust material selection process.
