This 3-hour webinar, which costs $300, by Aldo Fucinari,  is on how HALT adds value to the design, development and manufacturing processes. It presents many of the topics raised during seminars, especially why HALT is critical to the development process.  It will focus on the following topics:

• To understand the most efficient ways to integrate HALT into the design and development process so that it is most effective at ruggedizing products and reduces total design cycle time.

• To best understand how to gain the most useful information during testing to maximize the learning process and re-use of key data for future design efforts and value streams.

• Dr. Gregg Hobbs 6 step HALT process is amplified in the context of Lean engineering principles. Those steps are Precipitation, Detection, Failure Mode Analysis, Corrective Action, Validation of Corrective Action and finally knowledge storage and retrieval.

This webinar is based upon Mr. Fucinari’s own experiences as well as the book Accelerated Reliability Engineering, HALT & HASS by Dr. Gregg K. Hobbs.

Who should attend: • R&D, Engineering and Program Management • New Product Introduction Teams • Quality & Reliability Engineers and Management • Test Engineers • Electrical and Mechanical Engineers • Application & Sales Engineers

Aldo Fucinari has 35 years’ experience in design validation testing, electrical engineering and environmental testing and holds a BSEE degree in Computer Engineering. He has worked in various fields of engineering including computer peripheral storage engineering, automotive engineering and systems engineering. Aldo is currently chief consultant for rapiddiscoverysystems.com, providers of value added engineering development and operations processes and technology. He is partnered with Hobbs Engineering, Quality Testing Services, Cincinnati Sub-Zero and Adaptive Innovations to provide end to end HALT, HASS and specialized environmental testing solutions.
