Design Review

Design review is a formal, documented, comprehensive, and systematic examination of a design to determine its compliance with applicable requirements, identify issues, and propose solutions.

It's an assessment of a design's ability to meet quality requirements, identify problems, and propose solutions. Design review examines product design from a reliability perspective using predefined design and review criteria. The primary aim is to detect potential design flaws promptly, expedite design maturity, and reduce decision-making risks.

It's a formal, documented, systematic assessment of a design performed by individuals not involved in development work. Design reviews can involve providing suggestions or aid to the design team, assessing whether the design meets all customer requirements, and typically occur multiple times during product development.

The role of conducting design reviews is to evaluate whether the design meets contract requirements, conforms to design specifications, identifies vulnerable areas and areas with higher reliability risks, discuss and propose improvement suggestions, consider R&D tests, procedures, and maintenance resources in advance, ensure comprehensive implementation of reliability outlines, reduce design changes, shorten development cycles, and decrease lifecycle costs.
