Failure Analysis: A Tool for Prevention and Troubleshooting

November 12, 2015 by Jennifer Mathias Leave a Comment

Two scientists using a computer to conduct failure analysis

Every product has the potential to fail. This is a simple and accepted truth in the manufacturing industry. However, rather than being paralyzed by this reality, quality engineers can take steps to lessen the impact of a failure—and perhaps prevent it all together.

This is where failure analysis comes in.

Your Guide to Discovering What Type of Materials Testing You Need to Solve Product Quality Issues

February 16, 2015 by Jennifer Mathias Leave a Comment

A male and a female scientist conducting quality control testing

As a quality assurance specialist, you’re trained to spot quality issues and product defects. You know that if the fit isn’t right or the specified color mixture is slightly off, you need to find the cause and a solution to fix it. However, quality control is difficult when there’s an unknown contaminant on your products […]
