Summary: <p>Learn more about producer risk and consumer risk! Mike Hoffman, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/Keysight_Daniel">Daniel Bogdanoff</a>, and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/woernermm">Matthew Woerner</a> discuss various aspects of the risk involved in manufacturing and buying goods.</p> <p>Audio player:<br> <audio class="wp-audio-shortcode" id="audio-50-27" style="width: 100%;"><a href="https://eestalktech.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/producer-and-consumer-risk-ees-talk-tech-8-keysight-technologies.mp3">https://eestalktech.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/producer-and-consumer-risk-ees-talk-tech-8-keysight-technologies.mp3</a></audio></p> <div class="jetpack-video-wrapper"></div> <p> </p> <p>More about calibration:<br> <a href="http://www.keysight.com/find/americas_cal">http://www.keysight.com/find/americas_cal</a></p> <h2>Discussion Overview:</h2> <p>What is consumer risk and producer risk?<br> There’s always risk, so how do you manage it?<br> What should consumers do to be safe?</p> <p>How are producers testing their products before selling them?</p> <p>The history of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballpoint_pen#History">ballpoint pen</a> is a good object lesson for producers @7:00<br> Are lifetime warranties just a marketing ploy?<br> Lifetime warranty transfers consumer risk into producer risk</p> <p>As a producer how do you decide how long your warranty should be?</p> <p>How to build reliability models for products 10:30</p> <p>How can we predict a failure rate for a product?<br> We have use temperature chamber and other test techniques.<br> How do you balance AFR (<a href="http://literature.cdn.keysight.com/litweb/pdf/5990-6267EN.pdf">annualized failure rate</a>) with the risk of experiencing catastrophic failure ?</p> <p>What is a false accept? What is the “escape rate,” what is a false pass ?<br> A false accept is the term for test results that should have failed, but instead pass.</p> <p>How do you avoid catastrophic issues in production? 15:15<br> How accurate can you really be? How accurately can you measure something that takes time?</p> <p>Is there a guide for the <a href="http://www.keysight.com/main/editorial.jspx?cc=US&lc=eng&ckey=2275719">uncertainty of measurements?</a><br> Traceability is important for making reliable measurements</p> <p>Fill up your gas tank early in the morning and you get more gas</p> <p>What should you do now? 20:00<br> What is margin stackup?<br> Everything in a device has margin, so margin stackup is the combination of all uncertainties.</p> <p>Calibration is a very wide industry, it doesn’t just apply to test and measurement! Think, car alignments, etc.</p> <p>What is Matthew’s biggest challenge? 24:23</p> <p>How do you make sure your <a href="https://community.keysight.com/community/keysight-blogs/oscilloscopes/blog/2016/08/22/this-quick-trick-makes-your-oscilloscope-measurement-1000-times-better">measurements are accurate</a>?</p> <p>Predictions 28:00</p> <p>Some companies test products based on the region that product is being sold into, as different regions can have different quality expectations.</p>
