Workbook: Design Review Essentials Workbook, by Charles Gillis
The course describes how Design Reviews can be used along with other new product development methods to improve product designs and uncover potential problems early enough to fix them. A range of effective techniques for organizing and conducting Design Reviews will be presented. Participants will receive specific guidance and tools to assist them in customizing Design Reviews to reflect their own organization’s requirements.
In this workshop attendees not only learn the essential elements of a robust Design Review process but also have the opportunity to apply these principles in a real Design Review. Attendees will play each of the roles in a typical Design Review; leader, facilitator, recorder, and participant. Lessons learnt will be captured after the application practice exercises to discuss positive outcomes and identify opportunities for improvement.

All the participants in your training were also very impressed with you and your training. They each mentioned to the management team how this was the best training they have received and how your energy and enthusiasm kept them excited and motivated. We really appreciate all you and the team have done for us. We will be in touch soon to review and discuss future trainings.
Paul was definitely very knowledgeable, shared much of his experiences and was very personable. He was able to take a topic that could be very dry and made it interesting. The overall thoughts were that both classes were valuable – especially to those with only several years in the industry.
Hi Barbara and Angelo,
Thank you for the Holiday cheers! We look forward to working with QSG in 2018. We’ve accomplished a lot together as partners and our Training Program has been a great success thanks to you and QSG. Autoliv’s employees are very grateful to QSG for the opportunities to learn new skills and Autoliv appreciates our employees using these new skills to continually improve our Organization.
Hi Angelo,
The training workshops have been very well received and we are very happy with all that have been completed. The upcoming 5S training is full and we already have others interested so we will be looking to add a class. I am also pushing for additional training with all the training events in all areas of our business.
