Quality, reliability & certification
Measure it, fix it, and prove it
Getting a product to pass — reliably and on the record. We build the measurement methodology, run the root-cause analysis and designed experiments, and prepare products for certification, including to Olympic Games standards.
Anonymised: the injection-moulding work was delivered for a Portuguese manufacturer shown here as “the manufacturer”.
The challenge
A product is only finished when it can be measured, trusted, and certified. That means a repeatable way to measure quality, a disciplined route from symptom to root cause, and evidence that stands up to a standard — whether that standard is a class rule for the Olympic Games or an industrial certification norm.
What we did
- Developed a measurement methodology for product quality, including jigs, and drove certification for the Olympic Games (kitefoil).
- Ran root-cause analysis, troubleshooting and problem-solving on injection-moulded parts, supported by CAD and rapid prototyping.
- Designed and ran a design of experiments (DOE) with laboratory testing, and prepared the product for certification to standard.
Approach
1 — A repeatable way to measure
Placeholder: the measurement method and jigs that made quality measurable and repeatable.
2 — Root cause, not symptoms
Placeholder: the defect, how we traced it to root cause, and how the fix was verified.
3 — Design of experiments & certification
Placeholder: the experiment design, what the results showed, and the path to certification.
Outcome
Placeholder: the certification achieved and the reliability it locked in.
