I am writing you with very exciting news. Our new youtube channel has begun. Our intent is to provide video clips that describe various technical explanations of reliability and quality topics. Our first will be going out in our newsletter this week. I have included a link in this email as well so that you may view it before hand. Of course any comments are encouraged and if additional information is required, by all means contact us as we can help you out worldwide with training and workshops.  Click Here to see the Video  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTDtKjAcAl8

What is ION? ION is an acronym for the sequence of developing causes and preventions in a Design FMEA. I Inside,  O Outside, N Noises. Let me explain. If we do prework properly, a Boundary Diagram is highly recommended as well as a P or Parameter Diagram, as well as a FMA Failure Mode Analysis/or Avoidance.

Inside refers to the components or subsystems within the boundary (responsible for design) Ouside refers to the 4 types of interfaces to outside systems. and the N or Noise are the noises from the P Diagram that can either be a factor in cause or a contributor to a cause. Follow these steps in DFMEA development and you can reduce confusion and development time by 50%
