Last year’s “FMEA inspiration day” was focused on how to execute FMEA processes and sharing insights.

In this year’s event we look at a broader scope of Risk Management. How companies organize Risk Management is often a result of various factors.

For example: company history, size, complexity of product designs and processes and of course customer needs need to be taken into account.

By comparing two cases we explore what staying in control of risk means.

• What kind of risks do we need to manage?
• What is the impact of tooling on your Risk Management?
• When should we consider changing our Risk Management solutions?

Are we in control and will we stay in control in the future?

You want to introduce a new way of working, a new tool, something you know for sure that it makes everybody's professional life better, more efficient and effective. And ….is that not what we all want in our work? Making things easier, deliver more quality, grow in your profession, satisfy your customer!

So, it’s a no-brainer, let’s start the new way, take the new path… or…..not…?

In the process of implementing something new / different you may soon discover that 'the others' are not as enthusiastic as you about ‘the new way’.

The question then is ‘why is that’? Why do people resist and how do you get them ‘on board’.

That is subject of the short presentation, called “All on board”.

Quality and reliability are the part of daily life of every engineer, independent on the industry. From the project feasibility, through product and process design towards field failures analysis every engineer will need to use some of the methods and techniques. During our careers we noticed the struggle of understanding why these methods are needed and which methods should be used when. As the response we created the interactive game bringing complex quality and reliability topic in a simple and fun way. Join our session and follow the journey of the Holy Smoke!

While customers want a price quote and entire solution as quickly as possible, when it comes to quality, time is our friend. This is often the tension that companies in the high-tech sector experience. Job van de Sande, Head of Engineering at the ERIKS Group, will delve into the strategies ERIKS has employed to have more time to do things right the first time. These strategies include early involvement, the operationalization of ISO standards across borders and into project planning tools to have a better grip on time, and the use of new technologies (e.g., AI) to help our engineering team work faster and more successfully.

In the fast-paced world of high technology, managing risks effectively can make or break an organization's success. This presentation delves into the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in fortifying risk management strategies. You will gain valuable insights into the current risk landscape and discover practical AI applications. We will explore how AI can shape the future of technical risk management, making systems more robust by integrating design resilience. Additionally, we will see how AI tools can enhance traditional human brainstorming sessions and what this means for collaborative problem-solving.

We’ll also look at how to create an effective AI business/value case and which input AI requires to perform optimally, particularly the importance of failure mode standardization in guiding AI towards more accurate outcomes. Whether you're a seasoned risk professional or new to the field, this session will equip you with the knowledge to leverage AI's capabilities in safeguarding your tech ventures, driving innovation, and positioning your organization for resilience and sustained growth.
