Designgennemgange

Designgennemgange, often translated as design reviews or design walk-throughs, is a systematic process used in product development and engineering to evaluate and improve designs. The primary goal is to identify potential problems, defects, or areas for improvement early in the development lifecycle, thereby reducing costs and time associated with late-stage corrections. This process typically involves a team of experts who examine a design, which can be in various forms such as drawings, models, prototypes, or documentation.

During a designgennemgang, participants critically assess the design against predefined criteria. These criteria often include functionality, usability, manufacturability, maintainability, safety, and compliance with standards or regulations. The team might ask clarifying questions, point out inconsistencies, suggest alternative solutions, or identify risks. The outcome of a designgennemgang is usually a list of action items or recommendations that the design team must address.

The benefits of implementing designgennemgange are numerous. By catching errors early, it significantly reduces the likelihood of costly rework or product failures. It also fosters collaboration and knowledge sharing among team members, leading to a more robust and well-understood design. Furthermore, it serves as a valuable training tool for less experienced team members. Designgennemgange can be conducted at various stages of a project, from conceptualization to final design, ensuring continuous improvement throughout the development process.
