Systems Engineering

We offer Systems Engineering support primarily in the area of system architecture design trades and analyses and product integration across all organizational and functional boundaries, and project management.  Our areas of specialty includes the ability to quickly disseminate and incorporate all essential factors including performance, development cost, acquisition cost, safety, reliability, maintenance and servicing, design for manufacturability, human factors, and more for highly complex systems / products.  We promote a comprehensive definition of the products and systems we analyze, including a physical and functional decomposition, to allow a thorough assessment of all key constraints and specifications during design and development.

Our Systems Engineering Analysis skills are founded primarily on the experience of Gary and his demonstrated successes in the Aerospace, Automotive and Medical Device industries.  For a more detailed understanding of this experience please feel free to review Gary’s resume included on this web site.

Safety Risk Management

We offer safety risk management consulting to assure that your risk management program is integrated with your company business operating plan, philosophy and objectives.  We offer this service as a stand alone service or as part of a contract to purchase our database tool to automate all of your risk management activities and deliverables.  Our solution options include: 

  1. Procedures and policies compliant with ISO 14971 and ISO 13485 and MIL-STD-882 tailored to your company objectives and terms

    1. Covers the entire product life cycle

    2. Defines all terms, definitions and rules

    3. Covers all organizational responsibilities

    4. Covers all essential outputs

    5. Covers all documentation requirements

    6. Describes specific criteria to assure consistent decision making

    7. Describes specific task requirements

  2. Processes to support all essential tasks associated with Risk Analysis, Risk Assessment, Risk Control, Risk Evaluation and Post Production Product Support, including:

    1. A Risk / Benefit analysis calibrated to your company, products, and users

    2. Risk Criteria assuring consistent risk decisions throughout your company

    3. >Hazard / Fault Tree Analysis

    4. Risk Assessments applying consistent standards, definitions and thresholds

    5. Risk Control support targeted to reflect your product support philosophy

    6. Verification and Validation methods to assure risk controls cited in the Hazard Analysis and to control process variations and errors

    7. How to identify Traceable / Critical parts and assemblies to target downstream engineering and supplier controls, and to minimize liability exposure using the Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) technique in a streamlined and efficient manner

    8. How to make the FMECA a value added activity that properly reflects and drives your design solutions where you want them to go by applying the traditional Risk Priority Number (RPN) technique or a Mission Essential Reliability (MER) technique consistent with your product support philosophy

    9. How to identify processing sensitivities associated with manufacturing, distribution, basing, servicing, etc. applying the Process Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis (Process FMECA) in a streamlined and efficient manner to promote better process controls as well as product design improvements

    10. And much more……

  3. The world's first and only fully integrated and ISO compliant Safety Risk Management database tool to promote informed decision making using data in a meaningful and efficient way throughout all areas of your company, including Management Responsibility and product corrections and corrective and preventative action (CAPA), where so many companies are currently struggling.  Information on this product, Shield MD, may be viewed here in this web site to get a greater understanding of what it is and how it can help companies achieve a level of success not available today.

  4. Classes for all organizations and skill levels to understand all aspects of how to conduct a successful risk management program throughout the company.  These classes may viewed here in the web site.

Reliability

We offer reliability analysis and modeling support to support engineering analysis trade studies in support of product architecture development and in support of product design and processing.  Our specialties include experience in the following areas:

  1. Systems reliability modeling and predictions

  2. Systems availability modeling and predictions

  3. Systems maintainability modeling and estimates

  4. Trade Study support reflecting mission essential reliability modeling

  5. Use of field experience data in all reliability modeling

  6. Design of Experiments

  7. FMECA

  8. Use of probabilistic design methods

  9. Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT), or Stress Life Testing (STRIFE)

  10. Environmental Stress Screening (ESS)

  11. Integration of engineering (HALT), manufacturing (ESS) and field experience data to promote better product reliability corrective action decisions and reduce company liability and cost of poor quality
